The economics
Estimating capacity without the overhead.
Matching the recent sustained workload of roughly 149 projects a month in-house would require an estimated four to six full-time U.S. estimators at current market salaries with employer burden.
$35.28M
in potential annual awarded revenue from the 196 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 salaries with employer burden.
Then vs. now
Scale, without building the department first.
Estimating, takeoffs, and shop drawings: preconstruction capacity that expanded tenfold as the workload did, with zero hires.
