Need Accurate Construction Estimating Services? Try 1build's Network of Construction Estimators.

For most construction companies, hiring an in-house estimator is expensive and inefficient. In fact, general contractors often don't even need an in-house estimator because some jobs don’t require the expertise of an estimator. Contractors with limited resources simply can't keep an estimator on staff solely for jobs that need it.

But what if they could get the expertise of an estimator when and where they need it? 1build's estimators are available on-demand for contractors. No more worries about time and labor shortages! When contractors use 1build’s services, they have access to expert construction estimators, on-demand. What’s more, 1build's trusted cost estimation platform helps general contractors avoid the added expense of hiring an in-house estimator and our expert estimators extend any contractor’s team—becoming a true partner that helps builders achieve their business goals.

Real-Time Pricing Information

1build’s construction estimator will use the information you provide plus real-time information from your geographic area to create an accurate project estimate. Information from material suppliers at nearby big box locations, subcontractor and labor rates for your region, and equipment rental rates in your zip code are all factors that your expert estimator will take into consideration when creating your estimate.

With this real-time pricing information, your estimator will create a unique estimate for your unique project, taking into consideration the same factors that matter to you as you plan and execute your next construction job. 

Construction Estimating Services on Autopilot

Estimating is a complicated process that many small construction firms don't have time to complete in the course of a normal workday. In fact, with so little time in the day, small sole proprietorships and medium-sized construction firms often have to fit in their estimating during the quiet hours in the evening, at the end of the workday, or on weekends. 

But with 1build, you can just upload project plans, specify project scopes and preferences—and take the weekend off. That’s right, our estimators will do all the work for you.

Expert Guidance

1build carefully vets all its estimators for years of experience, knowledge of the field, areas of expertise, and up-to-date information about the changes in the industry. Material costs, labor costs, and related costs are constantly changing—especially in the last few years. Our experts stay up to date on those changes and provide a strong base of knowledge to ensure the best results—so you don't have to.

With help from our estimators, you can make more money on each project and avoid losses. You can even take on more complex jobs without needing to develop your own bidding or estimating strategy.

Efficiency

Preparing professional, accurate estimates takes hours of a builder's work day—especially if they don't have any expertise, training, or background in estimating. With 1build's simplified platform, the process is left to the experts. 1build makes estimating faster, leads to less wasted time, and gives contractors back time to bid more projects.
