Estimating capacity is one of the hardest things for a growing contractor to scale. Hire too early and you carry overhead between bids. Hire too late and you turn down work you could have won.
The cost of an in-house hire
A full-time estimator comes with salary, benefits, payroll taxes, software, and months of recruiting and ramp-up. And when the pipeline slows, that cost does not.
How a dedicated estimator compares
A dedicated monthly estimator gives you a full-time resource who works exclusively for your company at a flat rate of $1,950 per month. There is no recruiting, no benefits, and no software to buy, and you can scale up or pause as your pipeline changes.
- One predictable monthly cost
- Starts in days, not months
- Software and cost databases included
- Scales with your pipeline
For most growing contractors, it is the fastest way to add senior estimating capacity without the overhead of a permanent hire.
