Why Outsource Construction Estimating?
Construction companies often experience changing estimating workloads. Some weeks may involve only a few opportunities, while others can bring multiple bids with overlapping deadlines.
Choosing to outsource construction estimating can provide additional capacity without requiring your company to maintain the same level of internal estimating resources throughout the year.
Outsourcing can be useful when:
- Your estimating team is overloaded
- Multiple bids are due at the same time
- You need additional takeoff capacity
- You’re entering a new market or trade
- An estimator is unavailable
- Your company is experiencing seasonal bid volume
- You want to pursue additional projects
- You need support on a large or complex bid
- You need a takeoff completed before pricing
- You want external estimating support without adding a full-time position

Outsourcing Quantity Takeoffs vs. Full Cost Estimates

Trade-Specific Estimate
You can outsource only a particular trade or construction division while keeping the rest of the project estimate in-house.
Industrial & Infrastructure Project Coverage
Our services can support manufacturing, warehousing, processing, utility, site development, and infrastructure construction.
Multi-Trade Estimate
For broader projects, multiple construction trades can be included within the requested estimating scope.
Multi-Trade Estimating Support
Our estimating services can cover individual trade packages or multiple construction divisions depending on your project.
Flexible Service Model
Use our team for a single takeoff, a complete project estimate, overflow estimating, or recurring support.
