It is close to midnight on a Thursday in Beverly Hills. You ran jobs all day, and now you are counting fixtures off a plan set with a highlighter, knowing the general wants your number by noon and that one missed sheet could cost you the whole margin.
With an outsourced estimating team, the plans go out the day they arrive. You get back a clean takeoff, a priced estimate built on your labor rates and markups, and a list of questions and exclusions to send before the bid goes in.
You bid more work without losing sleep. Your numbers get more consistent, your proposals look like a serious company sent them, and you spend your days running the jobs you won instead of pricing the next ones at midnight.
