CEO Message
Dear Contractors, Builders and Industry Partners,
I started 1800 Estimating because I understood a problem that most people outside of construction never see: the bidding process is broken for too many contractors. I spent years in the construction industry watching skilled, hardworking contractors lose bids they should have won, take on jobs that cost them money because the numbers were off and spend nights buried in takeoffs instead of running their businesses. The stress was real. The losses were real. And the root of so many of those problems came down to one thing: inaccurate, incomplete or rushed estimates.
I knew there had to be a better way. So I built 1800 Estimating from starting not as a general contractor, not as a construction firm, but as a dedicated estimating service. One company. One focus. One promise: to give every contractor, no matter their size, access to the same quality of estimating that large firms take for granted.
A Commitment to Every Client
When you send your plans to 1800 Estimating, I want you to know that we treat them the way you’d want your own team to treat them carefully, confidentially and with full professional attention.
Whether you’re a solo subcontractor bidding your first commercial job or a multi-trade contractor submitting 15 bids a month, you will receive the same level of service. The same accuracy. The same respect.
That’s my personal commitment to you. We’re growing because our clients are winning. Thank you for trusting 1800 Estimating. I don’t take that trust lightly. Every estimate we produce carries our name and more importantly, yours.
Let’s win more bids together.
Warm regards,
Blake Turner, Founder & CEO, 1800 Estimating
