Pre-Construction Done With Exact Technical Rigor
Discover the history, methodologies, and qualified cost engineers driving North America's premier independent quantity takeoff service.
How We Revolutionized Pre-Construction Cost Planning
Founded with a vision to eliminate bid-stage risk, Arma Bid Solutions began as a specialized consultancy assisting civil GCs in Washington, D.C. with high-precision excavation modeling. As structural and MEP systems grew increasingly complex, we recognized a massive capacity gap: subcontractors were spending dozens of valuable hours tracing plans instead of managing active fields.
Today, Arma Bid Solutions operates as a unified, multi-disciplinary pre-construction department. We support civil, structural, finishes, and MEP contractors across the United States and Canada with SOC-2 encrypted blueprint management, localized RSMeans cost compilation, and fast, double-audited material quantity reports.
The Standards We Live By
We define quality by absolute accuracy, rapid execution, and client confidentiality.

Bidding Speed
We respect your filing dates. We offer guaranteed 24 to 48-hour turnarounds on core divisions, keeping you ahead of bid calendars.
