      — CASE STUDY

      How a Small GC Turned One Bid Into a $3.1M Contract

      A 7-person general contractor in Florida was used to chasing $300K–$800K commercial projects. Then an opportunity landed in their inbox that could completely change the size of their business.

      A developer asked them to bid a 31,000 SF mixed-use project — worth more than three times their previous largest contract.

      There was just one problem: 10 days to bid, 600+ plan sheets, and no estimator available.

      They turned to our construction estimating services and sent us the plans. We completed the full quantity takeoff and detailed estimate in six days, reviewed the scope with their team, flagged missing items, tightened allowances, and helped them work through several cost-saving options before submission.

      They submitted a confident, fully supported bid.

      They won the project at $3.1M — their previous largest contract was $850K.

      This wasn't just another bid. It was the project that moved them into a completely different league.

      Previous largest project: $850K. This one was nearly 4× larger — and they didn't have to turn it down because they had no estimator.
      +$285K

      Started sending them our takeoffs and suddenly I had time to chase more work instead of measuring plans all night. We bid five projects that month and landed three.

      Sent over a 400-page plan set with a tight deadline. They came back with the complete takeoff and pricing before I needed it. Made bid day a whole lot less stressful.

      They caught a quantity issue in our original numbers that would have put us way over budget. We corrected it before submitting the bid and ended up winning the job.

      I used to spend most of my weekends doing takeoffs. Now I send the plans over, review the numbers, and get back to running the business.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Everything contractors and builders ask about our construction estimating services before sending us their first project.

      What does a construction cost estimate include?

      Material, labor, equipment, and quantity takeoff information based on your project plans and specifications.

      How much does a construction estimate cost?

      Pricing depends on project size, scope, trades, and complexity. Request a quote for your specific project.

      How quickly can I receive my estimate?

      Typical turnaround is 1–4 business days, depending on project complexity.

      Do you provide estimates across the USA?

      Yes. We provide construction estimating and takeoff services for projects throughout the USA.

      How is your pricing structured?

      We work on transparent, flat, project-based fees — no hourly surprises. Send us your plans and scope, and you'll receive a clear fixed quote before any work starts, so you know the exact cost up front.

      Do you work with projects across the USA?

      Yes. We serve contractors, builders, and developers nationwide on residential, commercial, industrial, and renovation projects. Because our pricing is adjusted to your specific location, your estimate reflects local labor and material rates — not a national average.

      Is my project information kept confidential?

      Always. Your plans, project details, and pricing are handled with professional confidentiality, and we're happy to sign your NDA — or provide ours — before you share any files. Nothing you send ever leaves our estimating team.
