Estimating FAQs

Everything you need to know about secure takeoff outsourcing.

How do you ensure takeoff accuracy?
Accuracy is our top priority. Your dedicated Project Manager performs a secondary QA review on every takeoff before it is submitted to you. We cross-reference architectural, structural, and specialty prints to ensure no scope gaps exist.
Which estimating software do your VAs use?
Our VAs are pre-vetted for advanced proficiency in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, STACK, and Procore. If you use a specialized or proprietary system, your Project Manager will oversee the VA's training on your specific methodology.
How is "pure work" time tracked?
We utilize centralized time-tracking software. You are billed exclusively for the exact minutes the VA is actively performing takeoffs, sourcing quotes, or updating cost databases. PM supervision is free.
Do they have native-level English?
Yes. Clear communication is critical for clarifying bid specs and sourcing vendor quotes. We only assign specialists with native or C2-level English proficiency to ensure your professional communications are perfect.
How do we handle sensitive blueprint access?
Security is non-negotiable. All VAs sign strict NDAs. We use secure cloud portals and mandate the use of password managers like LastPass so our team never sees your raw credentials if accessing your premium accounts.
Can they handle emergency bid surges?
Yes. This is the benefit of a managed service. If you have a massive bid due in 48 hours, alert your PM. We can often scale your VA's hours or add cross-trained backup capacity to hit your deadline.
How quickly can we start?
Once you finalize your requirements with our Project Manager, we can typically match, assign, and deploy a vetted construction specialist to your account within 48 hours.
Is there a long-term commitment?
No. We believe in earning your business through reliability. You operate on a simple month-to-month basis based on hours worked. No lock-in contracts or setup fees.
