With construction costs rising and client expectations getting tighter, preparing an accurate bid has become more challenging than ever. Many contractors are now turning to expert estimating services to get reliable takeoffs, reduce guesswork, and avoid costly mistakes in the planning phase. These services provide detailed quantity breakdowns, updated material pricing, and well-structured reports that help in making confident decisions.
I’m curious do you think outsourcing estimates helps maintain better profit margins and faster bid submissions? Or do you feel in-house estimating is still the best approach for most companies?
Would love to hear what has worked best for you!
