The service
What Is a Dedicated Estimator?
A dedicated estimator is an estimating professional who works on your projects on an ongoing basis. Rather than sending out individual jobs and briefing someone new each time, you work with the same person — someone who gets to know your drawings, your trades, your templates and how you like estimates presented.
They handle the measuring, quantifying and organising work that takes up so much of an estimating team’s time, so your in-house people can focus on pricing decisions, client relationships and winning work.
Your estimator works remotely as a dedicated member of your team, using the communication and project tools agreed with you. Our team has supported clients worldwide for more than five years.

Why it works
Why Contractors Use Dedicated Estimating Support
Every business is different — these are the reasons contractors and subcontractors most often choose a dedicated arrangement.
- 01
Consistent capacity
A steady resource for a steady pipeline of quotes and tenders, rather than finding help job by job.
- 02
Familiarity with your work
Your estimator learns your standards, trades and preferences, so less briefing is needed over time.
- 03
Flexibility
Support can be arranged around your workload instead of a fixed in-house headcount.
- 04
Continuity across projects
The same person carries knowledge from one project to the next.
- 05
Time back for your team
In-house staff can spend more time on pricing strategy, clients and delivery.

A structured process that produces consistent, reviewable estimates.
- 07

FAQ
Dedicated Estimator FAQ
Project-based estimating covers individual projects as they come in. A dedicated estimator works with you on an ongoing basis, building familiarity with your projects, templates and pricing approach over time.
Where practical, yes. Your templates, formats and standards are agreed during onboarding, and software access is discussed as part of setting up the service.
Communication is agreed at the start — typically email, video calls and your preferred messaging and project-management tools, so you can see what your estimator is working on and where each estimate stands.
Engagement arrangements are agreed with you. Talk to us about the level of support you need and how it may change over time.
Estimates go through a quality review before delivery. Your team remains responsible for final pricing decisions and submissions.
Contact us with a short description of your business, the trades and projects you price, and the support you are looking for. We will discuss the most suitable arrangement.
