“$195 for a takeoff that helped me win a $280,000 roofing contract. Easy math.”
“I’m a roofing sub and I was going into a bid blind. I found 1800 Estimating online, sent my plans, and had a complete material takeoff back in less than 24 hours. I plugged in my labor costs, submitted the bid, and two weeks later I had a contract for $280,000 in my hand. For $195, that’s the best ROI I’ve ever had.”

“They handle 12 to 15 of my bids every month. My team can finally focus on field work.”
“We signed up for the monthly package eight months ago and I won’t go back. My estimating used to eat up two full days per week for my project coordinator. Now those hours go into managing active projects instead. Our bid volume is up, our win rate is up, and our stress is down. 1800 Estimating runs like clockwork.”

“Fastest turnaround in the business. They turned around a 47-page plan set in 36 hours.”
“I had a bid due and my usual estimator was unavailable. I found 1800 Estimating, uploaded 47 pages of architectural plans at 8 PM, and had a complete multi-trade estimate in my inbox by 8 AM the next day. The detail was impressive. I’ve used them for every major bid since.”

“100% Accurate and they actually communicate when something needs clarification.”
“What I appreciate most is that when something in the plans isn’t clear, they call me before making assumptions. Other estimating services just guess and you end up with a mess. 1800 Estimating treats every project like it matters because it does.”

“We won a $3.8M commercial project and the margin was exactly where we needed it.”
“Before 1800 Estimating, I was spending 20+ hours preparing each bid myself. Half the time the numbers were off and I either overbid or left money on the table. The first time I used their service, I submitted a bid for a $3.8M medical office building. We won it, and when we got into the build, our actual costs were within 4% of their estimate. That’s the kind of accuracy that wins contracts and keeps your business profitable.”

“Helped us break into commercial bidding for the first time and we landed a $1.2M job.”
“Our company had only done residential work for 9 years. We wanted to start bidding commercial but honestly had no idea how to put together an estimate that looked professional. 1800 Estimating gave us exactly what we needed. Our first commercial bid was for a $1.2M retail buildout and we won it. We’ve been doing commercial ever since.”

“Professional, confidential, and they actually know construction.”
“I’ve tried a few estimating services before. Most of them clearly don’t know construction, they just run software and hand you a report that doesn’t reflect real-world conditions. 1800 Estimating’s team actually understands the trades. Their estimates reflect how projects are built in the real world, not just what a computer spits out.”

“They saved us on a tight bid, we won by $12,000 over the next lowest bidder.”
“I was bidding a school renovation project and asked 1800 Estimating to tighten up my numbers. Their takeoff was so precise that we came in $12,000 lower than the next competitor still at a healthy margin. We won the bid and completed the project on budget. I genuinely believe we would have overbid without their help.”

“I’ve submitted 23 bids through 1800 Estimating. I’ve won 14. That’s a win rate I’m proud of.”
“Numbers don’t lie. Before using professional estimating, my win rate was maybe 20%. Now it’s closer to 60%. I can bid more competitively because I know my numbers are right. The monthly package is one of the best business decisions I’ve ever made.”

“From a skeptic to a loyal client, this service is the real deal.”
“I’ll be honest, I thought no one could estimate my bids better than I could. I finally tried them after a rough stretch of lost bids and the difference was immediate. Their takeoff was more thorough than anything I was doing, and I started winning again. I’ve since referred three other contractors who feel the same way I do now.”
