An estimate is more than a number on a bid form. It sets your profit margin, your buying plan and your schedule. If your numbers are too high, you lose the job to a competitor. If they are too low, you may win the work and still lose money once materials, labor and change orders add up. Poor estimates are one of the main causes of cost overruns on US construction projects.
Accurate takeoffs also make the rest of the project easier. Your purchasing team knows exactly what to order, your project manager can track costs against a reliable budget, and owners and lenders see a clear breakdown they can trust. That is why many contractors choose to work with a professional construction estimating company instead of rushing numbers between site visits.
