Default Demo Estimating Help......Quick please!

My name is Scott and I am not a typical demo contractor. Most of my work is in general excavation. I have received a solicitation for a demo project but I have no idea of how to estimate the amount of material to be disposed of. The building is a hotel style, 50 room, 2 story, cinder block constructed, flat roofed building. doe anyone know a method to estimate this building? I have devised my own method but I am sure that there are many tried and tru methods that all you experts have used for a while. I would purchase estimating software but I have no time as the bid is due on Tuesday. If anone could help me out I would sure appreciate it. You can reply to this post or e-mail me at scott@prosouthexcavation.com . Thanks for the help.

Scott

First off, don't waste your time buying estimating software.

Is the slab staying? What is the site's access? Do you have an overall square footage of the project?

It will also probably be a little hard without seeing the project.

Here are a couple of online guides that can come in handy for weight of some material:
