For general contractors
Where the estimate earns its fee.
A GC's estimating desk is usually the bottleneck on how much work the company can bid. We take whole projects or individual divisions off that desk, deliver in your format, and give your team the hours back to chase subs, manage relationships and decide which jobs to go after.
More invitations than estimators
Send the overflow. Full-scope estimates in 24–48 hours mean you can bid the whole list.
Sub coverage gaps on bid day
Measured plug numbers for any trade without a reliable quote.
Leveling quotes that do not match
Scope sheets and quantities so every sub prices the same thing.

What you receive
Everything you need to bid. Nothing you have to redo.
Every estimate ships as the same four-part package, on the first job and the fiftieth.

FAQ
Questions from general contractors.
Talk to an estimator
Not a salesperson. Same-day answers on working days.
+1 518 974 7222[email protected]Can you estimate only the divisions we do not self-perform?
Yes. Many GCs send us only the trades they sub out, or only the ones where coverage is thin.
Will our subs see your numbers?
Only if you share them. Everything we produce belongs to you and is treated as confidential.
Can you work to our bid-day schedule?
Yes. Tell us when you need numbers locked and we deliver ahead of it, including late addenda.
Can you use our cost book and labor rates?
Yes, and we prefer it. Your historical costs reflect your crews and your suppliers better than any published average. Send the template and we work inside it.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is per project and quoted before any work starts — no retainer, no minimum volume and no subscription.
