Construction estimators for Aurora contractors
General contractors and subcontractors in Aurora send us their plans when they have more bids than estimating time. We return trade-by-trade quantity takeoffs and bid-ready estimates in Excel, with marked-up PDF plans that show where every number came from.
Every Aurora estimate is priced to local conditions: labor rates for Kane County, DuPage County, Will County and Kendall County, regional material costs, and the permitting and site requirements of the job. Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours from complete plans.

Aurora’s major projects
Two large builds have defined Aurora’s recent market. Penn Entertainment’s $360 million Hollywood Casino Aurora resort, on an 18.7-acre site near I-88 and Farnsworth Road, broke ground in November 2023 and includes a 1,000-car parking deck and a 12,000-square-foot event center. In September 2026, the City Council approved an extended-stay hotel near the casino site.
Data centers are the other story. CyrusOne broke ground on a $350 million, two-building data center off I-88 at Bilter Road, its second in Aurora. The city has also been weighing stricter rules for future data center development, so check the current requirements before you bid a new one.
Construction takeoff services in Aurora
Subcontractors who price their own work use our Aurora construction takeoff services for clean, checkable quantities: concrete and rebar, masonry, steel, framing and drywall, roofing, MEP devices and runs, and sitework. Quantities are split by area and floor, with waste shown separately so you can set your own.

Pricing Aurora work correctly
Aurora is one of the few Illinois cities split across four counties: Kane, DuPage, Will and Kendall. A public job on the east side may fall under the DuPage schedule, while one downtown falls under Kane. We confirm the county from the site address before pricing labor.
Large projects here also compete for the same crews. When casino, hotel and data center work overlap, subcontractor pricing tightens, so we flag trades where you should get extra quotes before bid day.
Current county rates are published on the Illinois Department of Labor prevailing wage rates page.
