Most Contractors Are Missing
Most contractors don’t realize they’re missing out on over $200,000 every month in potential project contracts.

It’s designed to take the stress off your plate, provide precise estimates, and help you win more projects. Our goal is simple: to support your success and ensure you don’t miss out on opportunities that could transform your business.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU WIN MORE PROJECTS?
I have NO TIME to estimate projects.” — Every Contractor in Florida
Time is the biggest challenge for most contractors. The demands of managing day-to-day operations often leave little room for focusing on essential tasks like preparing accurate bids. If you’re spending all your time working on your business rather than on it, you’re not alone. This is a common struggle—we’ve worked with over 500+ contractors across the nation who’ve faced the same issue.
You’ve likely tried to handle estimating yourself, burning the midnight oil after long workdays or sacrificing weekends at the kitchen table. But this approach isn’t sustainable and could lead to missed opportunities. That’s where we come in. Our team will handle the entire bidding process for you, allowing you to focus on growing your business without sacrificing your personal time. Imagine getting your evenings and weekends back while still winning more projects!
Stop letting time hold you back. Let us help you bid smarter, not harder, and make the most of every opportunity that comes your way.
Did you know you might be missing out on $200,000—or even more—every single month, simply because you’re too busy?
Our analysis shows that many contractors lose out on several project opportunities every month. Why? They’re so swamped with daily tasks that they either don’t have time to prepare estimates or let those opportunities slip through the cracks.
Depending on your average contract value, this could mean losing out on $200K to $500K in sales each month—money that could significantly grow your business.
That’s where we come in. We’ll take the estimating process off your hands, creating accurate, professional bids so you can stay competitive and keep landing those jobs. Don’t let a packed schedule hold you back—let us help you seize every opportunity.
We can handle your entire project estimation using your local pricing, ensuring the numbers are precise and tailored to your area.
At Estimate Florida Consulting, we are based in Florida and operate as a licensed General Contractor with hands-on building experience. This means our estimates are not just theoretical—they are grounded in real-world construction knowledge, so you can trust the accuracy of our work.
We rely on a combination of an extensive cost database and our practical expertise to generate project estimates based on your specific zip code. Our team, made up of seasoned professionals with actual construction field experience, understands that pricing for labor and materials can vary greatly depending on location. That’s why we adjust our calculations for local labor rates, material costs, and even factors like property values in your area. This local approach ensures that your estimates are not just accurate but also realistic for the market you operate in.
What sets us apart is our commitment to accountability and accuracy. We back all of our estimates with a $1 MILLION ACCURACY GUARANTEE, covered under our Errors and Omissions Insurance. This guarantee gives our clients peace of mind, knowing that we stand by the quality and precision of our services. For busy contractors, our construction estimating service is a dependable, stress-free solution to win more projects and increase profitability.
We can help you negotiate and close deals using proven strategies that actually work.
Estimating is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to winning a job. The real challenge begins after the estimate is complete, and this is where teamwork makes all the difference. We believe in partnering with you as a team to boost your chances of success.
What happens after the estimate can make or break your chances of securing the project. That’s why we step in to help you crunch the numbers during negotiations, ensuring your bid is both competitive and profitable. Need support during a client call? We can join in as your dedicated estimating team, presenting your numbers and strategies in a way that instills confidence in your client and increases your chances of closing the deal.

We’ll show you exactly how to make your client want to work with you instead of your competition. From sharpening your pitch to addressing client concerns, we help you stand out in a crowded market.
With over 10 years of experience and insights gained from working with thousands of contractors, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. Some of our clients have boosted their win rates to 50% by applying the simple strategies we’ve developed. These aren’t just theories—we’ve created a blueprint based on real-world success stories from contractors who turned their bidding process around.
