About us
An estimating company built by estimators who have prepared real bids for general contractors and subcontractors.
Who we are
Numbers contractors can bid on
BuildBetterEstimates provides construction cost estimating, quantity takeoffs and bid management to contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and developers across the United States.
We started with a simple idea: an estimate is only useful if you can trust it on bid day. So every quantity we measure is traced back to the drawings, every scope item is written down, and every client deals directly with the estimator doing the work.
AccuracyQuantities measured sheet by sheet and checked before delivery.
TransparencyInclusions, exclusions and assumptions in writing.
SpeedDelivery dates agreed up front, always before your bid date.
ConfidentialityAn NDA on every project, and plans used only for your estimate.
