Project Estimator
Estimating is the bottleneck you can't
afford but can't get ahead of.
You have more opportunities than you can bid on. Every estimate you skip is revenue you'll never see.
Bids go out late; or don't go out at all; because you're the only one who can do them
Takeoffs are rushed, and you know accuracy is suffering
You're choosing between estimating and running the business; every single week
Sub quotes come in late and nobody is chasing them down
The cost of a missed bid is always higher than the cost
of the person who could have sent it. Always.
your role
turnaround
at 6 months
The estimating work that's
capping your revenue
The detailed, time-intensive bid work that keeps your
pipeline full and your margins protected.
Quantity Takeoffs
Perform detailed material and labor takeoffs from plans and specs so every bid starts with accurate numbers, not guesses.
Bid Proposals & Formatting
Prepare clean, professional proposals that are ready to send; so you close faster and look sharper doing it.
Sub & Vendor Quotes
Reach out to subs and suppliers, chase pricing, and compile quotes so your bids aren't held up waiting on others.
Pricing & Cost Databases
Maintain up-to-date pricing databases and cost history so future estimates build on real data, not memory.
Plan Review & Scope Alignment
Review drawings and specifications to catch scope gaps, ambiguities, and risks before they become change orders.
Pipeline & Deadline Tracking
Track bid deadlines, manage the pipeline, and make sure no opportunity expires because it sat on someone's desk.

Running a luxury design build firm where we GUARANTEED our prices, trust me I had to have this on point! Mind you, I also despised every time I had to do this. If you don't have enough proposals you are working on because maybe you aren't in the trades, pass this along to a Project Coordinator or get your Executive Admin to support. If you do have a lot of bids or proposals, the amount of money and relationships you are losing from getting bids over too late, inaccurate because you are annoyed and rushing, or working overtime to get these done…STOP! Holding onto control is costing you; money, time, growth, stress!
