CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING

Hire a Remote Construction Estimator

Pre-vetted estimators who handle takeoffs, pricing and bid packages for US contractors, so you can bid on more work without adding local payroll.

Cost Estimates

Detailed estimates built from your pricing, historical costs and current supplier quotes.

Bid Packages

Organized, on-time submissions with clear scopes, exclusions and clarifications.

Subcontractor Bid Leveling

Sub quotes compared line by line, so no scope is missed.

Change Order Pricing

Quick, documented pricing for change orders mid-project.

Preliminary Budgets

Early numbers that help your clients decide whether to move forward.

Estimators for every trade

General contractor (GC), electrical, HVAC and mechanical, plumbing, and MEP, plus other trades on request.

Works in your tools

Tell us your software (Bluebeam, PlanSwift, On-Screen Takeoff, Excel or your own templates), and we'll shortlist estimators who already use it. They follow your estimating process and work from your cost data.
