Why Outsourcing Construction Estimating Is No Longer Optional

Running a construction business today isn’t easy. Between site issues, clients, deadlines and cash flow estimating often becomes the bottleneck.

That’s exactly why outsourcing your estimating is no longer a luxury it’s a must, True Bid Data.

Here are 3 key reasons why smart contractors outsource

You Can Bid (and Win) More Jobs

Most contractors win 1 out of every 10 bids. The only way to grow? Increase bid volume.

Outsourcing allows you to:

  • Generate more leads
  • Bid on more projects without burning out
  • Focus on reviewing numbers instead of measuring take-offs
  • Think of estimating as a pipeline. When estimating slows down, your entire business slows down. Outsourcing keeps that pipeline flowing.

And yes estimating can essentially become “free” when you correctly build it into your overhead pricing.

Estimating Shouldn’t Be a Wall to Your Business

If estimating sits entirely on your shoulders, it becomes a wall blocking leads from turning into bids.

The longer it takes to estimate:

  • The fewer bids you submit
  • The more opportunities you lose
  • Successful business owners don’t do the busy work.

They review, approve and lead just like a dentist reviewing the hygienist’s work.

Outsourcing Helps You “Fight Fires”

Site emergencies are unavoidable. Estimating during a chaotic workday? Nearly impossible.

Outsourcing means:

  • No missed deadlines
  • No rushed numbers
  • No late-night take-offs

You stay focused on running the business while experts handle the detail.
