Why should you hire a dedicated construction estimator?
Competition is increasing in the construction industry, and contractors miss new opportunities all the time. This happens due to the complex bidding process and limited time for preparing the bidding proposal. That’s why an accurate estimate is crucial for contractors to avoid the issue of overbidding and underbidding on the projects. It is recommended to have a professional and experienced estimator to aid in preparing bid estimates, bid filing, and managing bidding network profiles.
Architects are obliged to deliver the designing project within the budget of their clients. Therefore, they need reliable cost estimates in every phase of the planning and design of the project. The best way to face these matters is to have a committed construction estimator to provide accurate cost estimates to assist them at each stage of the design i.e. schematic, design development, and construction documents.
Training and hiring an in-house estimator is challenging because of additional overhead, burden costs, monthly salaries, management issues. Sometimes these higher expenses are passed to your customers in terms of quoting high prices that lead towards losing the competition. Therefore, to engage a dedicated expert estimator working distantly takes less out of your budget and gives you the confidence of quality services.
By hiring a dedicated estimator, you save overhead expenses and recurring costs of hiring a full-time estimator and yet you get to have a dedicated estimator working for you with the same interest in your business. Estimation Co can provide you an expert estimator who understands the market with the experience from previous projects. He will not only provide you with detailed and highly accurate estimates but also consultancy regarding project lead generation.
