FAQ
Dedicated Estimating, answered.
Talk to an estimator
Not a salesperson. Same-day answers on working days.
+1 518 974 7222[email protected]Will it always be the same estimator?
Yes. You get one named estimator who learns how you bid, with a second estimator who knows your account for cover and checking.
What is the minimum commitment?
Month to month. Most clients start with one month to test the fit.
Can the estimator use our software?
Yes. Your estimator works inside your platform and file structure if you give access, or delivers in a format your team can import.
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.
