Why contractors send us their trades

Specialists, not generalists

Each division is handled by an estimator who prices that scope every week and knows where the money hides.

Trade-correct measurement

Waste factors, laps, shrinkage, crew productivity rates and installation conventions applied the way that trade actually builds.

Bid-ready deliverables

Excel workbook, PDF summary and colour-coded marked-up drawings, or your own bid template on request.

24 to 48 hour turnaround

Single-division packages usually come back inside two working days, with addenda re-measured rather than re-guessed.
