What Are Construction Estimating Services?
Construction estimating services are professional services that calculate the cost of a construction project so a contractor can prepare a bid. An estimator reviews the plans and specifications, measures quantities, prices materials, labor, equipment and subcontract work, and adds overhead, profit and contingency. Many contractors outsource this work to control costs and handle more bids.
