Estimating · Insulation and air barrier
Insulation and air barrier estimating: the envelope, layer by layer.
We measure every layer of the envelope, from air barrier to insulation, plus sealants by the metre. You get quantities or a bid ready to submit.
What you get
- Quantities by element, in Excel and PDF
- Or a priced estimate: labour, materials and equipment
- Delivered before the BSDQ or contractor closing
- A confidentiality agreement, if you want one
What we measure
What we take off your drawings.
Insulation
Rigid, batt and spray foam, in m² by thickness and thermal value.
Air and vapour barriers
Self-adhered and fluid-applied membranes, with laps and transitions.
Foundations
Waterproofing, membranes and drainage boards against walls.
Sealants
Interior and exterior sealant joints, in linear metres, by type.
Two ways to work
Quantities only, or a priced estimate.
Quantity takeoff
Your quantities organized by element, the way you build your price. You apply your rates and submit.
Priced estimate
We add labour, materials and equipment, at Quebec market prices or your own rates. Ready to submit.
Watch out for
What we often see missing from a bid.
- Transitions between roof, walls and openings, where all the detailed work is.
- Spray foam priced without the actual thickness required.
- Firestop sealants, often in a separate spec section.

Frequently asked questions
What people often ask us.
Do you measure spray foam in square feet or square metres?
In whatever unit you buy and price in. We adapt.
Do you do sealants only?
Yes. Sealants can be a trade of their own, and we isolate them.
Do you check energy requirements?
We follow the specified values. If they look inconsistent, we flag it.
