Outsourced Estimating
Hand off the takeoffs and bid math. Keep the relationships and the margins.
About outsourced estimating
Hiring a senior estimator costs six figures a year before benefits. Most small and mid-size contractors do not bid enough volume to keep one busy, but they bid too much to do it well between site visits. Outsourced estimating closes that gap. You send plans; we return a complete, bid-ready package.
You pay per bid, so the cost tracks the work. Slow month, small invoice. Busy month, we scale up without you adding headcount. Every estimate is built by an estimator who reads your trade, checks quantities twice, and prices against current supplier data, not last year's numbers.

- Labor hours by task with adjustable crew rates
- Supplier pricing pulled at the time of the bid
