Why Choose a Freelance Estimator?
As our slogan says, “Bid More, Win More,” we encourage businesses—especially those with in-house estimators—to increase their bidding capacity by leveraging freelance estimating services. This strategy enhances your winning ratio while keeping costs under control. However, hiring a freelance estimator is particularly beneficial in the following situations:
1. For Startups & Small Contractors
If you’re a startup or a small contractor, hiring a full-time estimator might not be cost-effective. Instead, working with a freelance estimator on a need basis allows you to allocate your budget more efficiently—focusing on business growth and marketing while still securing accurate estimates for your projects.
2. To Minimize Overhead Costs
During economic slowdowns, companies often reduce overhead expenses by downsizing in-house estimating teams. However, accurate cost estimation remains essential. Freelance estimators provide the perfect solution, allowing businesses to pay only for the work needed, keeping operations lean while maintaining profitability.
By opting for a flexible, cost-effective estimating service, you gain access to expert-level accuracy without long-term financial commitments—a smart move for businesses looking to scale efficiently.
Specialized Trade Estimating
If your estimating department lacks expertise in specialized trades such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and more, outsourcing to an experienced trade estimator is the ideal solution.
At Smart Estimations, we provide expert freelance trade estimators for all CSI divisions, utilizing the latest industry-leading software for precise and efficient cost estimation.
Independent, Unbiased Assistance
Disputes often arise when multiple teams work on a project. An independent cost estimator offers an unbiased perspective to help resolve cost-related conflicts. Additionally, a third-party expert can provide valuable insights for better decision-making.
