Estimating Support
Your estimator should be pricing risk and negotiating with suppliers, not counting fixtures off a plan set. Our quantity surveyors handle the measurement and the assembly, with revisions back inside 48 hours.
Alone, from$1,500/month

What estimating support covers
Written as a scope of work rather than a feature list, because this is what we will actually agree in your support package.
Measurement and pricing
- Material takeoffs from plan sets and addenda
- Quantity surveying by trade and by area
- Bills of quantities (BOQs) prepared to your format
- Labor and material pricing against your rate library
- Cost estimating with assumptions documented
Bid support
- Bid preparation support: forms, schedules, qualifications
- Estimate revisions and updates, 24–48 hour turnaround
- Subcontractor and supplier quote collection and comparison
- Drawing conflicts and scope gaps flagged before pricing
- Post-bid records maintained so the next estimate starts from data

What clients see, with the basis stated.
These are medians across clients running this seat, not best cases.
When it works, and when it does not.
We would rather you self-select out here than discover it in month two.
A good fit if
- You are declining bid invitations for lack of capacity
- Your estimator is measuring rather than pricing
- You need surge capacity without permanent headcount
Not the right service if
- You need the final pricing and risk calls made for you — that stays with your estimator
- You are bidding under two jobs a month
If one of these describes you, say so on the call. We will point you somewhere better rather than sell you a package that will not hold.
From first call to a working seat in about a week.
The order matters, so it is numbered. Nothing here happens without you in the room.

A 30-minute strategy session with someone who has run jobs. We learn your company, your workflows and where the bottlenecks actually are.
