The volume
133,462,750 SF
of commercial construction quantified across 24 months of continuous estimating support.
More square footage quantified every month than many contractors bid in a year.
Scope of work
More than estimating: full pre-construction support.
428 hrs
of shop drawing production delivered in a single month, the output of nearly three full-time drafters.
The economics
Department-scale output without the department.
Matching roughly 100 large projects and 5.5 million SF a month in-house would require an estimated four to five full-time U.S. estimators plus one to two drafters at current market salaries with employer burden.
$12.78M
in potential annual awarded revenue from the 71 additional bids per month the added estimating capacity unlocked.
Illustrative model based on a 10% win rate and a $150,000 average awarded contract. Staffing costs modeled on U.S. estimator and drafter salaries with employer burden.
Then vs. now
Scale, without building the department first.
Takeoffs, estimates, and shop drawings at nine-figure square footage: pre-construction capacity that holds at scale, month after month.
