Without designated estimators, your company runs the risk of missing out on great opportunities and not targeting the right types of projects for your skills and bottom line. A dedicated estimating team will have the resources, know-how, and bandwidth to evaluate each potential project for fit, scope, cost, and potential profit to maximize your company’s earnings. You can divide the task of estimating among employees with other responsibilities, but once your business has grown to the point where you can support a true estimating department, you should consider doing so as soon as possible. Trained estimators who spend their days doing takeoffs and creating estimates will be much more skilled at these tasks than others who are spread too thin, and your salespeople and field crew can focus in on what they do best, leaving bids to the experts.

It’s best to develop a relationship with your supplier, not only so that you can access potential price discounts, but also because they can advise you on the way materials are distributed. If finances are an obstacle for establishing a supplier relationship, a good option is to secure material funding through a service like Billd, which will pay for your supplies upfront and offers longer terms for repayment than you’d get through other loans. That way you’ll know when you might need to add extra help or days that tend to have lighter workloads, and you can plan your crew’s schedules appropriately during each phase of a project.
