How It Works
Choose individual project estimates or ongoing estimating and bid management. Contact us directly to discuss your project. Remote Project Management is always a separate service.
Request a quote based on the project work area and complexity, with an agreed minimum fee. Send your drawings and specifications by email or contact us to arrange delivery. We review the scope, confirm the fee and due date, and notify you when your estimate is ready.
Review the proposal, approve it or request revisions. The standard payment arrangement is 50% before work starts and 50% upon approval, before final release, unless otherwise agreed.
We manage your authorized estimating inbox, receive GC invitations, review Bid / No Bid / Undecided opportunities, prepare takeoffs and pricing, submit proposals directly to GCs within agreed authority, and handle RFIs, addenda and follow-ups.
Our ongoing bidding workflow stays organized through your authorized estimating email, with clear updates on bidding, submitted, awarded and lost opportunities.
Ongoing services are quoted individually based on project volume and responsibilities. A fixed weekly fee without commission is available; alternative arrangements can be negotiated. We suggest an initial 30-day period, agreed capacity and deadlines, and independent scheduling rather than fixed eight-hour shifts.
After award, remote project administration—including submittals, RFIs, material orders, change orders, pay applications and closeout—is available under a separate weekly fee and scope.
