Get Accurate Quotes & Smarter Projects with a Construction Estimator
In the construction industry, everything rides on the numbers. You’re constantly chasing tenders, but if your bids are too high, you lose the job to a competitor. If they’re too low, you win a project that ends up bleeding your company dry.
This high-stakes guesswork is a massive liability.
The expense of an inaccurate estimate isn’t only a lost bid. It’s thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, in project overruns, ruined reputations, and damaged cash flow.
You need iron-clad figures, delivered fast, every single time. You need an expert to handle the numbers while you handle the execution.
Partner with Outsourced Staff and we’ll source you a dedicated, skilled, outsourced construction estimator who brings precision, speed, and profit to your pre-construction phase.
Important insight: Firms have reported saving around 20-30% in construction costs when they outsourced estimation services.
In-house estimation teams are costly to build and often overworked when multiple projects hit at once. Hiring additional staff for short-term projects doesn’t make financial sense.
Outsourcing gives you flexible access to trained estimators who understand construction inside out. They manage everything from material costs to labour forecasts, helping you stay competitive without stretching your resources.
Accurate estimates are the foundation of profitable projects. Those cost savings directly improve project margins and give firms the breathing room to reinvest in growth.
By outsourcing construction estimation, you get accurate rates, keep budgets under control, and allow your in-house team to focus on delivering projects and strengthening client relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a construction estimator do?
A construction estimator analyses project requirements, calculates costs for labour, materials, and equipment, and prepares detailed estimates to guide bidding and project planning.
What are the main benefits of hiring an outsourced construction estimator?
The primary benefits are cost savings, speed, and precision. By outsourcing a construction estimator, you convert the high fixed cost of a local salary into a flexible, affordable operational expense.
This allows you to process bids faster, increasing your chances of winning new tenders, while benefiting from specialised expertise that reduces the risk of project cost overruns.
How do you ensure the accuracy of the construction estimates?
Accuracy is non-negotiable. Our outsourced estimators follow a strict, multi-tiered quality control process that involves initial preparation, peer review, and final verification.
They utilise the latest estimating software for automated calculation checks and cross-reference all figures with up-to-date material and labour pricing databases.
What kind of construction projects can an outsourced estimator handle?
Outsourced Staff will source specialists who are capable of handling a diverse range of projects or experts in your particular needs. This includes residential (single and multi-family), commercial (retail, office, industrial), and civil works.
They can prepare estimates for all construction trades (CSI trades) from concrete and masonry to specialised mechanical and electrical systems, ensuring a comprehensive Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for any project size.
Do your outsourced estimators know my local building codes and standards?
Yes. While they work remotely, our outsourced construction estimators will be vetted for experience with your location’s building methodology and are proficient in interpreting local technical drawings and specifications.
We ensure they are trained on the necessary compliance frameworks to deliver estimates that are relevant and accurate for your local market.
