* Bestimate LLC began offering freelance assistance for commercial and agricultural building contractors on August 3, 2009, but by early 2010 began computer aided drafting (CAD) drawing for commercial projects, working for clients, professional engineers, and contractors, using my past experience drawing commercial and non-commercial buildings on computer, including structural and energy calculations. By 2011, as residential retailers and homeowners needed house plans, with my home-center roots and experience, we began to do residential plans for new homes and complex remodel and addition. Past experience in big, complex agricultural buildings brings Bestimate LLC some special agricultural plans to draw, featuring robotic milking and feeding.
* To enhance production, Bestimate LLC upgraded our drafting computer to a Lenovo ThinkPad P17 Mobile Workstation with IntelCore i7-10750H 6 core processor, 32 GB RAM and NVIDIA Quadro® T2000 graphics to run Windows 10, AutoCad LT 2016 drafting program, Strucalc Legacy 11.1.6.0 structural engineering program used to size concrete footings, columns, beams and joists in wood or steel, and WoodWorks Sizer, a structural engineering program for wood by the American Wood Council. Our home office is also equipped with a HP Design Jet T120 Wide Format Printer and Epson Workforce printer w/ 11×17 capability. We updated the BlueBeam Revu PDF program to enhance PDF’ing and printing building plans.

Our Mission: We will assist construction clients who need drafting, planning, and project management support using my experience and expertise to assist with a high degree of professionalism.
