Build Winning Proposals with Confidence with a Bid Estimator
Are you winning enough tenders? More importantly, are you winning enough tenders that actually deliver fat margins? The brutal reality of construction is that your capacity to price work is the single biggest bottleneck to growth.
Stop haemorrhaging cash on an expensive, easily overwhelmed local estimation team. Stop wasting your project manager’s time on quantity take-offs.
You need dedicated, specialised capacity that doesn’t rely on the crippling local wage market. The solution is simple, strategic, and ready for implementation. Instantly boost your precision and volume by partnering with Outsourced Staff for your dedicated outsourced bid estimator team.
Important insight: 30% of construction projects exceed budget due to inaccurate initial estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a bid estimator do?
A bid estimator prepares detailed cost assessments for projects, including labour, materials, and overheads, to help companies submit accurate and competitive bids.
Can an offshore quantity surveyor or estimator use my existing estimating software?
Absolutely, your remote quantity surveyor are adaptable and can use your existing estimating software and processes. We ensure that the professional we place with you is already proficient or quickly trained in your required software, whether that is industry-standard tools like PlanSwift, CostX, Buildsoft, or even sophisticated, custom Excel estimating templates.
Seamless software integration is a non-negotiable part of our onboarding process for your outsourced bid estimator.
Are outsourced estimators trained to understand my local building standards and codes?
Yes, outsourced estimators are trained to understand local building standards and codes. No worries: We know that compliance and standard adherence are paramount. While working remotely, all our staff are provided with the necessary training and resources to understand local building codes, materials, and specification requirements.
This ensures that every bid estimator calculation is based on the correct scope, mitigating risk and ensuring precision in every tender.
Is an outsourced bid estimator a viable solution for small to medium-sized builders?
It is an ideal solution, especially for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). SMBs often cannot afford a full-time senior local estimator, which forces owners or project managers to take on the estimating work themselves.
Outsourcing gives you expert, dedicated estimating capacity for a flat, predictable monthly fee, freeing up the owner to focus on site operations and client acquisition, not calculating square metres and material quantities.
