Thermal and Moisture Estimating Services
At Fusion Estimating, we offer professional thermal and moisture estimating services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Through our detailed estimates, we help you understand and control the thermal and moisture risks within your construction. Whether you are a contractor, architect, builder, or engineer, accurate project scheduling, energy consumption calibration, and water damage mitigation guarantee your building’s structural integrity.
With industry-leading software and tools like Planswift, Blue Beam, Stack, and Trimble, our estimate experts prepare work estimates quickly and economically. With years of experience, we guarantee an estimation that meets your project scope, budget, and timeline
Understanding Thermal and Moisture Estimating Services
Thermal and moisture estimating services are crucial to pre-construction planning. Estimating includes pinpointing potential energy loss or moisture problem areas. For thermal estimating, we consider heat flow, insulation requirements, and thermal bridging. Moisture estimating takes into account water penetration risks, flashing details, damp proofing, and waterproofing.
Buildings can incur health issues such as mold, energy inefficiencies, and even structural damages if lacking proper estimating. Fusion Estimating evaluates every protective layer, from insulation to sealant application. We aid in ensuring that the correct materials are allocated for each component of your building envelope.

Why Is It Important to Estimate Thermal and Moisture Correctly?
Many construction projects go over budget due to overlooked thermal bridging or improper waterproofing. Thermal bridging increases utility expenses while reducing comfort, and water intrusion can lead to mould, rotting wood, and damage to finishes.
Our services help avoid these problems early. We provide accurate estimates that enhance regulatory compliance, mitigate waste, and optimize performance throughout the building’s lifecycle. Precise thermal and moisture estimating services help avoid construction delays and expensive repairs. Every project benefits from reliable thermal and moisture estimating services, which deliver assured durability, safety, and energy efficiency.
Our Core Services
Thermal Bridging Analysis
Thermal bridging occurs when heat is lost through insulation and is bypassed through structural components like studs or steel beams. To find these thermal bridges, our team utilizes Blue Beam, Stack, and On Screen Takeoff. Then, we determine the expense of thermal breaks, insulation wraps, or other methods. Our comprehensive estimates detail material counts and labor hours concerning insulation wraps, thermal breaks, or other solutions. We also give product suggestions tailored to your project. By resolving bridging problems in the design phase, we allow you to construct energy-efficient buildings.
Insulation Estimating Services
Insulation is pivotal in managing indoor climate control. We estimate the k-value and thickness of insulation materials for walls, roofs, and floors. For each location, we offer pricing using Planswift, Trimble, and RS Means. This is helpful so that you do not overspend or miscalculate estimating figures. We ensure precise calculations for different types of insulation whether it be fibreglass, spray foam, or rigid board. With our professional estimate, you can confidently plan or bid on projects.
Sealants & Flashing Estimating
Sealants and flashing have a very important role in water management: they safeguard gaps, joints, openings, or seams. We estimate the type of sealant materials required, as well as tapes, membranes, and metal flashing. Using Quest Estimating, Trimble, and Blue Beam, we provide a clear cost breakdown. Besides preventing costly future repairs, having grade waterproofing and water guarding strategies incorporated from the design stage drastically minimizes ongoing maintenance expenses.
Waterproofing & Damp Proofing Services
Basements, building foundations, balconies, and flat roofs require waterproofing and damp proofing services. We estimate for waterproof membranes and other materials like drainage systems, coatings, etc. Damp proofing is applied to walls to prevent moisture penetration below grade or to stop water damage from rising.
For insurance-related moisture projects, Xactimate is used. For regular construction projects, On Screen Takeoff and RS Means are employed. All of them estimate accurately on a cost per square foot basis with detailed labor application breakdowns. We guide and help you select tailored protective solutions for each building part.
