Frequently asked questions
The questions contractors ask before they hand over a bid: subscriptions, price, turnaround, coverage and references.
Straight answers
If something here is not covered, ask. We would rather tell you it is not a fit than take work we cannot do well.
Yes. You provide your own plan room subscriptions and we do the work inside them on your behalf. We search the boards, filter for projects that match your trade and region, and select the ones worth pursuing. The account stays in your name and you never pay twice for access.
$199 per project for any subcontractor (single-trade) work and for residential general contractor projects. $249 for a commercial general contractor project, which counts as one project however many trades it covers. Projects over 50,000 SF are quoted.
The monthly plan is $3,499 for up to 20 projects, with a dedicated estimator and project hunting; extra projects are $199. The cold email marketing plan is $2,999 a month. Full pricing.
3 business days for most projects, counted from the day we have the drawings and your markups. Projects over 50,000 SF get a date when we quote them.
Color-coded markups of every sheet we measured as a PDF, an Excel takeoff with quantities by item, size, sheet and detail, and, if you want it priced, a full estimate built on your OH&P, contingency and tax. Download real samples.
Both. Subcontractors are a core audience: flooring, insulation, drywall, paint and MEP most of all, plus framing, metals and roofing. We also estimate full scopes for general contractors, whose bids span every trade on the job.
All 50. The service is delivered remotely, because plans, bid boards and submission portals are all online. We have past and current clients in 9 states: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Texas and New Mexico.
Yes. We handle federal registration through SAM.gov plus city and state vendor registrations, and we coordinate and furnish the documentation public projects require: bid bonds, performance and payment bond paperwork, insurance certificates and required certifications.
To be precise about our role: we coordinate and furnish documentation. We are not a surety and not an insurance provider.
On your numbers. You give us your overhead and profit, your contingency and the sales tax that applies, and the estimate is built on those. You get full pricing and a complete cost breakdown, and we fill out bid forms where the project requires them. Prefer to price it yourself? Take the takeoff unpriced.
No long-term contract. The monthly plans run month to month, and per-project work is paid per project.
