Why Choose a Freelance Estimator?

As our slogan “Bid More, Win More” suggests, we recommend utilizing freelance estimators to increase your winning ratio, especially in the following scenarios:

For Startups and Small Contractors

For startups and small contractors, it’s cost-effective to hire a freelance estimator on a need basis instead of having a full-time estimator. This helps reduce estimating costs and allows you to allocate resources to other areas like business marketing.

Minimize Overheads

During an economic slowdown, companies often need to cut expenses by eliminating their estimating departments. However, estimating services are still necessary. Hiring a freelance estimator allows you to pay on a need basis, reducing overheads and helping your business regain profitability.

Need an Independent, Unbiased Assistance

When different teams are working on a project, disputes can arise. Our independent cost estimator provides unbiased estimates to resolve issues and offer a fresh perspective.

Ease the workload of your existing estimating department by hiring freelance estimators. Our timely estimates allow your in-house estimators to focus on the bidding process and meet deadlines effectively.
