Benefits
There are many benefits to outsourcing professional takeoffs on your projects…
General & Sub-contractors:
- Allows estimators to send out a specific document of bidding items & quantities in order to compare “apples to apples” on incoming quotes.
- Allows more time to concentrate on accumulating more clients and servicing existing jobs in order to grow and improve your business.
- Can assist with the workload for an existing estimating department during peak volume seasons.
- For smaller contractors, outsourcing estimating/takeoffs can save money on insurance, payroll and other liabilities associated with having an estimator on staff. Each job is paid for on an as-needed basis. We also have a monthly payment program for repeat customers that includes a volume discount.
- Eliminates extra material left over on the job site taking a chance to get damaged while waiting to be returned. Also eliminates expensive restocking fees on returned materials because your quantities are more accurate.
- No more wasting of extra materials because if installers see it there, it will get used in some way or another!
- Let us design an easy to use estimating template in Excel specifically to fit your needs so you can track where your money is going and how much you are making (or losing!)
