Construction Estimating Consultant

I AM Builders is a licensed General Contractor specializing in estimating and consulting for our clients. Our construction estimating services division brings you the power of a large estimating department without the large overhead.

Our Consulting team is dedicated to helping Developers, Contractors, and Owners in preparing cost estimates for projects. Regardless of what stage you are in your construction project, our construction estimating services team will advise you regarding cost estimating, managing budgeting, preparing bid documentation, etc.

Since we ourselves are a Contractor, we know what goes into cost estimating and performing construction quantity takeoffs.

Many of our clients need help preparing budgets or cost estimates for bidding purposes or need a comparison. We can provide that for both commercial and residential projects.

Having an accurate estimate and budget prepared in the early stages of the project is critical. We work directly with developers to prepare budgets for financing, value engineering, and overall project planning.

We help architects prepare schematic, conceptual, design development, and final costs for projects.

Estimating is challenging when you don’t have the final design figured. Most contractors won’t even give you a budgetary figure because it’s not worth it to them so early on.

We can prepare estimate in the early stages of projects and often work with Architects and Designers during the design process.

“Most contractors are missing out on over $200,000 per month in project contracts and they don’t even know it. They are busy, have no time for estimating, and they are leaving money on the table. A lot of money.

We designed our construction estimating service with the goal of helping our clients win projects and ultimately be successful.”

-Every Contractor in America

The enemy of every contractor is the lack of time. Most contractors are busy working IN the business rather than working ON the business. If that’s the case, you’re not alone. We’ve worked with over 1,400 contractors nationwide estimating and consulting, and that’s normal.

But you’ve probably tried doing it yourself, working at night after work…. probably even on the weekends on the kitchen table. We’ll find your leads for you and can even takeoff your complete construction project after so you can focus on running your business and getting your nights and weekends back.

Stop missing out on bids because of time.

We did an analysis and more contractors are missing out on several projects per month that they can actually win because they are so busy they just pass them up.

Depending on what your average contract value is, most contractors are missing between $200-500K per month in sales because of being busy.

We’ll prepare your entire estimate for you so can keep bidding those jobs.

I AM Builders is US Based and a licensed General Contractor, so we have actual building experience.

We use a combination of a cost database and our experience to price your projects based on the zip code of your project (Note: Everyone at I AM Builders has actual field experience in construction, not just theory or “paper estimating”).

Pricing for labor and material varies by area and zip code, so we make adjustments for local labor rates, material pricing, and even look at the area’s property value to determine accurate pricing. That’s what makes our construction estimating service a great option for busy contractors.

We even back our estimates with a $1 MILLION ACCURACY GUARANTEE which covers all of our clients by our Errors and Omissions Insurance.

Estimating is only a small part of what it takes to win a job. We like to see this as a TEAM EFFORT.

What do you do after the estimate to give yourself the best chance of winning? We can help you work the numbers when you’re negotiating, and even jump on a conference call with your client (as your estimating team) to help you close.

We can even advise you on EXACTLY WHAT TO DO to have them wanting to USE YOU instead of your competitor.

Over the last 10 years, and after speaking and working with THOUSANDS of Contractors, we get to see what WORKS and what DOESN’T. We have some clients landing 50% of their bids by implementing some of the strategies we can easily show you.

These aren’t strategies we made up – we listened to our clients and created our blueprint based on what they are doing right, and avoiding what they were doing wrong. Best of all….. it works for ANY CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS.

After working on the estimating side of things, we help many of our clients get more leads so they can keep growing their business.
