What is outsourced construction estimating?
Outsourced construction estimating means using an external estimating team to prepare quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, bid support, revisions, or other estimating tasks instead of completing every task internally.
What types of projects does DEKR support?
DEKR's current outsourced estimating service covers commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, specialty-trade, developer, and construction-management projects.
Can I outsource only the quantity takeoff?
Yes. DEKR includes detailed quantity takeoffs as a standalone part of its outsourced estimating support, so contractors can apply their own local labor, supplier pricing, overhead, and markup.
Does DEKR handle bid revisions and addenda?
Yes. Revisions are specifically included within DEKR's current outsourced estimating services, alongside takeoffs, cost estimates, and bid support.
How quickly does DEKR complete outsourced estimates?
DEKR's current outsourced estimating page states an average turnaround of 48 hours. Actual timing can vary based on project size, number of trades, document completeness, and scope complexity.
