Construction Estimating Service

Outsource Your Takeoffs and Estimating, Software-Powered

Most construction estimating services run a team of estimators manually measuring plans and pricing materials line by line, which is slow and leaves room for the kind of pricing error that turns a winning bid into a losing job. We run takeoff and estimating as an outsourced service built software-first: digital takeoff tools that measure plans accurately and fast, pricing checked against current material costs instead of a stale price book, and turnaround measured in days, not weeks.

An outsourced team, powered by software first

A contractor outsourcing estimating is usually trying to solve two problems at once: not having in-house estimating capacity to bid every job that comes in, and the real risk that a rushed manual takeoff misses a quantity or prices a material wrong. A traditional estimating service fixes the capacity problem and often still inherits the accuracy problem, because the takeoff itself is still a person measuring a drawing by hand. We built ours to run every takeoff through digital measurement software first, cross-checked against current material pricing, so the estimate that goes out the door reflects what the job will actually cost, not what it cost when the price book was last updated.

What moves off your plate

01

Takeoffs measured digitally, not eyeballed off a printed plan

Digital takeoff software measures quantities directly from plan files, catching the kind of small measurement error a manual takeoff under deadline pressure tends to miss.

02

Material pricing checked against current costs, not a stale price book

Every estimate gets priced against current material costs, not a price list that's months out of date, which is one of the most common ways a winning bid turns into a losing job.

03

Turnaround measured in days, not weeks

A faster takeoff-and-pricing pipeline means you can bid on more jobs without turning away work because your estimating capacity is maxed out.

04

No full in-house estimating team's salary to carry

You get estimating capacity without budgeting for a full-time estimator's salary, benefits, and the ramp-up time every time that role turns over.

Budgeting for a full-time estimator you can't always keep busy.Estimating capacity that scales with your actual bid volume.
05

Your existing takeoff and project management tools stay in place

Whatever software your team already uses for project management or accounting, we work alongside it. Nobody has to learn a new system just to receive an estimate.

Tell us what kind of work you bid, how estimating gets done today, in-house, a part-time estimator, or nothing consistent, and how often a bid has come back wrong after the job started, and we'll show you what software-powered takeoff and estimating looks like against your real numbers.

Questions people ask

What kind of projects do you handle takeoffs and estimates for?

Most general and specialty contractor project types, residential, commercial, remodeling, new construction. Scope and complexity vary, so we'll confirm fit for your specific trade and typical job size before starting.

How fast is turnaround on a typical estimate?

Usually days, not weeks, since digital takeoff measurement is significantly faster than a manual one. Exact turnaround depends on plan complexity and job size, which we'll scope upfront.

Does this replace our in-house estimator, or work alongside them?

Either, depending on your situation. Some contractors use this to cover overflow bid volume alongside an existing estimator; others use it as their primary estimating function because they don't have the in-house capacity to justify a full-time hire.

How do you keep material pricing current?

Estimates are priced against current material costs rather than a static price book, which is one of the more common sources of a bid that looks fine on paper and loses money once the job starts.

Who's actually doing our takeoffs, your team or a subcontracted estimator overseas?

Our team, running on our own digital takeoff software. We built the measurement and pricing pipeline ourselves specifically so turnaround and accuracy don't depend on a rotating cast of subcontracted estimators.

Can you integrate estimates directly into our project management or accounting software?

Yes, we work alongside whatever system you already use so an estimate lands where your team already looks, rather than asking you to adopt a new platform just to receive it.
