Project-based estimating

Crossroads provides preconstruction estimating and bid-management support to general contractors on a project-by-project basis—functioning as a direct extension of your preconstruction team, through bid submission. Scope includes:

What you have on bid day

The completed estimate on your form, in your cost codes—plus the clarification and assumption list, the value-engineering log with alternate pricing, leveling sheets by trade with the low bidder identified, a complete subcontractor bid file with coverage summary, and the question and addenda log from the bid period.

Who this serves

Contractors with more bids than bandwidth, teams covering the gap after losing an estimator, and firms that want a second set of eyes on a must-win pursuit. You get a senior estimator on demand—fifteen years of it at director level—without adding a seat.

Estimating systems review

For contractors who want their own team faster, we offer a working review of your estimating operation—workflow, templates, cost-code structure, bid-management setup, historical cost data, and the handoff from estimating to operations—with practical recommendations your team can put to use.
