03Core Services
Professional Estimating and Pre-Construction Support.
Delivered by identifiable estimating professionals, supported by CCFE intelligence systems.
Division 09 Estimators
Commercial flooring and tile estimating, takeoff, and pre-construction support. Commercial takeoffs available in RFMS Measure or MeasureSquare.
Division 08 Estimators
Supplemental estimating support for commercial glass, glazing, storefront, and aluminum entrance scopes — a deliberate business offering, not an add-on to flooring.
Compass Global

04Construction Intelligence
Intelligence Attached to an Actual Decision.
Two pre-bid and pre-construction modules, built on the SQUARES AI™ engine and the ROGUE IQ research system.
Should we bid this project?
Pre-bid decision intelligence. WATSON gathers intelligence from uploaded project documents and available project information to evaluate document quality, bid viability, scope clarity, commercial exposure, estimating effort, procurement and schedule conditions, and relevant project risk.
What exactly is behind the number, requirement, product, specification, or obligation?
Specification, product, scope, and supporting document intelligence. HOLMES connects specifications, finish schedules, manufacturers, products, installation requirements, contracts, and the documents behind them.
Intelligence supports the decision. Human judgment remains the final authority.
05Human + Intelligence
Technology Finds More.
Experience Decides What Matters.
AI can compare documents, retrieve information, identify relationships, and surface patterns at a scale humans cannot reasonably perform manually.
But construction still requires judgment. Our model keeps experienced construction professionals at the center of the process.
We do not replace construction professionals with AI.
We give construction professionals better intelligence.
06Not Another Software Company
We Run the Intelligence for You.
Contractors already manage enough software. The CCFE Group is not built around selling another dashboard.
Our companies use the technology, apply construction experience, analyze the project, and deliver intelligence that supports an actual decision.
The client receives the result. Not another platform they have to learn.
07Case Studies
What the Intelligence Produced.
Problem, intelligence, result — from real CCFE engagements.
Omni Hotels
Problem
More than 4,000 pages of project information contained conflicting design direction and varying product assignments distributed across the project record. CCFE and SQUARES AI™ connected the relevant information and reduced the issue to a concise three-paragraph finding.
DOCUMENTED OUTCOME
The general contractor subsequently sent CCFE 11 additional awarded projects for review.
Montage Palmetto Bluff
Problem
The project documents established a general sand-and-finish intent for existing heartwood pine but left final quantities, refinishing limits, finish-system requirements, repair thresholds, and several coordination conditions unresolved.
ESTIMATING OUTCOME
CCFE separated defined work from assumptions, exclusions, field-dependent conditions, and scope requiring further direction before pricing was delivered.
TruLine Flooring Contractors
Problem
CCFE provides additional commercial flooring estimating and pre-construction capacity when internal workload exceeds available estimating resources.
PRIMARY TAKEAWAY
Additional estimating capacity without lowering the standard of project review.

12The Mission
Make Construction Information More Useful.
Contractors do not suffer from a lack of information.
They suffer from too much information that is fragmented, inconsistent, incomplete, or difficult to interpret.
The CCFE Group exists to turn that information into Construction Intelligence that supports better commercial decisions.
The Big Idea
The Future of Construction Is Not More Information.
It Is Better Intelligence.
Construction already generates enormous amounts of data. The opportunity is to connect it, interpret it, and make it useful before important decisions are made. That is the mission of the CCFE Group.
