Role
Site Estimator
Site estimators are experts in the usage of software to generate time and cost estimates for individual projects, including contract quotes and tenders. They typically work in collaboration with engineers, architects, and project managers to create budgets and estimate time for individual construction and engineering projects.
Since the modern construction industry is highly competitive, and corporations are working on small profit margins, incorporating an accurate and reliable bill of material is vital in order to get an edge over your competition. A precise estimate plays a crucial role in any phase of the construction project, be it a preliminary, conceptual, schematic, or detailed estimate.
By outsourcing to experienced, trustworthy and efficient site estimators, which we can connect you with at The Lead Enquiry, your business will have a full taste of a cost-effective, quick and accurate estimate, or material take-off and will never have to miss any mouthful of deadlines.

Cost advantage
Outsourcing can save your business money by getting your daily repetitive tasks finished at a lower cost and at a higher quality as well. It can also significantly reduce your overhead costs from employment, office space, equipment, infrastructure and technology expenses as you no longer need to maintain an in-house space since outsourced staff can work offsite, pay offshore employees to work in those services, and streamline your own technology.

Outsourcing enables you to free up the hours you constantly spend on doing repetitive tasks and lets you allocate more time towards other, more profitable aspects.
