Reliable Estimates for Successful Construction Projects
Why Outsource Your Estimating?
Experienced estimating is essential to winning profitable construction projects—but maintaining a full-time estimating department can be expensive.
A highly qualified estimator can represent a significant annual investment when salary, payroll taxes, benefits, software, office expenses, vacation, sick leave, and other employment costs are considered.
For many construction companies, the owner or project manager handles estimating in addition to running the business and managing active projects. That often means reviewing plans and preparing bids after hours, when time and attention are already stretched thin.
ColorChoice Inc provides another option.
We give contractors access to experienced construction estimators without the cost and commitment of adding another full-time employee.
Bid More. Increase Your Opportunities.
Construction is a numbers game. You cannot win a project you don't bid.
When your internal team is overloaded, opportunities can be missed simply because there isn't enough time to properly review, estimate, and submit every qualified project.
ColorChoice helps increase your bidding capacity, allowing your team to pursue more opportunities while continuing to focus on operations, project management, customers, and business development.
More qualified bids mean more opportunities in your pipeline.
