Outsourced Construction Estimating and Dedicated Estimators
Buildesk lets you outsource your construction estimating or hire a dedicated estimator without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire. Whether you need overflow support during a busy tender period or a consistent estimator working your projects month after month, we scale to your workload and keep your bid pipeline moving.
How You Can Work With Us
Per-Project Estimating
Send us a tender and get back a complete takeoff and priced estimate to your deadline – pay only for the projects you need estimated.
Dedicated Estimator
A consistent estimator who learns your rates, suppliers, and preferences and works your projects on a monthly basis – like an in-house estimator, without the overhead.
Overflow and Tender Support
Extra estimating capacity when several tenders land at once, so you never turn down a bid for lack of hands.
