As our slogan says, “bid more, win more.” We strongly recommend those who have an in-house estimator to bid on more projects by utilizing the services of freelance estimators to increase their winning ratio. But employing a freelancer is the best solution in the following scenarios:

For startups or small contractors

When you are a startup or small contractor, it is best to utilize the services of a freelance estimator on a need basis because you do not need a full-time estimator at this stage. This will help you cut the estimating cost that can be utilized elsewhere, like business marketing.

To minimize overheads

In an economic slowdown, companies have to cut down their expenses by eliminating their estimating departments, but estimating services are needed. This is when the services of the freelance estimator are a big relief, where you can pay on an as-needed basis and reduce overheads and take your business back to profitability.

Specialized trade estimating

If your estimating department lacks the skill for specialized trade estimating, like mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc., outsourcing to an experienced trade estimator is the best solution. We offer expert freelance specialist estimators for all CSI divisions and the latest software proficiency:

Need independent, unbiased assistance

There are high chances of disputes when different teams are working on a project. An independent cost estimator contributes by providing an unbiased cost estimate to resolve the issue. Or sometimes a third-party opinion is required from a different perspective.

Facilitate your existing estimating department

When the existing estimating departments face a heavy load of work due to piling invitations for proposals, freelance estimators improve the efficiency by preparing timely estimates while their in-house estimators deal with the bidding process and no longer miss deadlines.
