Free Guide: A Contractor’s Guide to Increasing Construction Profit Margins 

If you’re anything like most contractors right now, you’re worried you may not make it to your next project. As we all know, most construction firms never make it to their fifth year and construction profit margins have continued to erode. At last check, they were down to 0.38% in 2019. That's right--less than a single percent. Construction was difficult enough before COVID-19 hit, but it now feels like it’s almost impossible. 

But before you decide it’s just not worth it anymore, we recommend reviewing the benefits of on-demand construction estimating services for contractors. We know what you’re thinking: what does a cost estimating service have to do with getting my business out of the red into the black or from taking my business’s profitability from 5% to 10%? Isn’t outsourcing cost estimating going to cost me more when I could just do it myself? Well, it has everything to do with ensuring your business operates at a profit rather than loss.

Did you know that most contractors lose many more bids than they win and the primary reason they lose those bids is due to inaccurate cost estimates? And when contractors do win a bid, they often lose their profit margins or even complete the project at a loss because of cost overruns from an inaccurate estimate? Why? Because developing an accurate and detailed construction estimate or a quantity takeoff isn’t easy.

However, it used to be expensive to outsource construction estimating. But with new AI-powered cost estimating services, which leverage the combined power of human estimators and AI, contractors can get a high-quality construction estimate or quantity takeoff for a fraction of the price of doing it yourself and in half the time.
