The Number That Holds Up Is the One That Wins
Georgia’s construction cost environment doesn’t fit a single number. Labor wage inflation running at 5-8% annually in Georgia’s hyperactive industrial corridors means estimates need to reflect current conditions.
Every estimate we deliver is cross-verified by a senior estimator and benchmarked against RSMeans Georgia City Cost Index data by market.
Georgia Bids Don’t Wait And Neither Do We
GDOT bid deadlines, Atlanta city procurement windows, and Private developer RFP schedules each have a hard date. We treat it that way! Our estimating teams work against your clock for faster turnarounds.
Standard turnaround for most Georgia residential and commercial estimating scopes.

Georgia’s Rules Are Built Into Every Estimate
Georgia construction operates under the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes, which adopt IBC and IRC base codes with state amendments administered by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Our construction estimating services are compatible with this framework at the county level. Every estimate we produce for Georgia is built inside it.
Every estimate NEDES delivers follows the American Society of Professional Estimators Standard Estimating Practice. Whether your client is a private developer reviewing a preliminary budget or a federal contracting officer evaluating a public bid, our format holds up to scrutiny.
Atlanta (Fulton County) carries one of the higher RSMeans City Cost Index readings in the Southeast (~0.93). Savannah (~0.87), Augusta (~0.84), Columbus (~0.82), and Macon (~0.81) each index lower, We apply the correct index for each project location (not the Atlanta number across every Georgia bid).
Georgia has no state-level prevailing wage law. But the Davis-Bacon Act applies to any project receiving federal funding. In Georgia, that covers a significant range and our team is well versed with it. That’s why, we pull the correct county-level determination for every applicable Georgia estimate.
Our scope and specification references align with Georgia’s adopted building code structure (IBC 2018 with Georgia amendments, Georgia Amendments to the International Residential Code, and the National Electrical Code as adopted by the state.)
Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff handle every Georgia plan set we touch. Your markups come back color-coded, layer-labeled, and formatted for your team to open, check, and pass directly to subs. That means no proprietary formats or compatibility issues.
What Separates a Good Estimate From One That Actually Wins
Georgia’s commercial construction industry generated $80.9 billion in total economic output and supported over 549,000 jobs in 2025. That’s not a slow market finding its footing. That’s an economy where construction is a primary driver.
Winning in this environment takes more than experience. It takes a construction estimating company that knows the difference between a Fulton County Davis-Bacon electrician rate on a federal project and an open-shop rate for the same trade on private commercial work in Gwinnett. That’s what NEDES brings with its certified estimators, RSMeans data, the fastest turnaround in the market, and a free revision policy.
When you outsource construction estimating services to NEDES, you’re handing it to estimators who understand Georgia’s market the way you understand your trade.

Georgia Contractors Talk! Here’s What They Say.
We guarantee the use of .
We chase a lot of commercial and institutional bids in metro Atlanta. It included healthcare, higher ed and some municipal work. The volume makes it impossible to do every takeoff in-house during bid season. NEDES handles the overflow and the numbers are clean. Our proposal team hasn’t had to scramble since we started using them.
The Savannah industrial market moves differently than Atlanta. Different subcontractor base, different material logistics environment because of the port. NEDES understood that without us having to explain it. The first estimate they delivered reflected actual Chatham County conditions. That’s rare.
I build custom homes in North Georgia (Cherokee County, Forsyth and Pickens). Material costs and subcontractor rates up here are nothing like metro Atlanta, and a lot of estimating companies treat the whole state like it’s Buckhead. NEDES doesn’t. Their numbers fit the market I’m actually building in.
We had a federal project at a facility in Augusta; Davis-Bacon compliance required, specific Richmond County wage determinations. NEDES built all of that in correctly from the start. No back-and-forth consultations or corrections were needed. First estimate was submission-ready.

Georgia runs on open-shop labor for private construction. But that doesn’t mean the cost is uniform. It varies more across this state than most contractors account for.
NEDES applies Georgia-specific CCI data by metro, Davis-Bacon wage determinations by county for federally funded scopes, and real market intelligence from the bids we’re estimating across the state every week.
What construction estimating services does NEDES provide in Georgia?
We cover the full range. Material takeoffs, quantity takeoffs, preliminary budget estimates, detailed bid estimates, bid consultancy, and ongoing estimating support for Georgia contractors across all CSI divisions. We work across residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, infrastructure, and civil sectors.
Does Georgia have a state prevailing wage law?
No. Georgia is an open-shop, right-to-work state with no state-level prevailing wage requirement on private or state-funded construction. However, any project receiving federal funding in Georgia triggers Davis-Bacon Act compliance.
How do your estimates reflect the cost differences between Atlanta, Savannah, and rural Georgia?
Every estimate is tied to the market it’s being built in. Atlanta metro estimates use the Fulton/DeKalb/Gwinnett cost index. Savannah estimates use Chatham County data. Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and secondary Georgia markets each get their own indexed inputs. Simply said, we track it at the county level.
How fast can NEDES turn around a Georgia construction estimate?
Standard delivery for most residential and commercial estimating scopes is 10-48 hours. Large industrial projects typically take 3-5 business days, depending on plan volume. Same-day rush delivery is available for emergency bid situations. Call us directly for those.
Can I outsource just one estimate, or is a retainer required?
One estimate is a perfectly fine starting point. Submit your plans, get your estimate in hours, and evaluate from there.
While most companies claim to provide services across the whole of Georgia, we take it up a notch by providing specialized estimates for every single county.
