Understanding the Construction Process: A Guide to Construction Estimation and Bidding

Every construction project follows a systematic process, ensuring smooth execution from concept to completion. At Extensive Construction Estimation, we specialize in providing top-notch services during the bidding stage, ensuring your project stands out and succeeds.

Key Stages of a Construction Project

1. Concept and Idea

The foundation of any project starts with a vision. The project owner, who could be an individual, a company, or a government authority, conceptualizes the purpose and scope of the construction.

2. Designing and Planning

Architects are hired to bring these ideas to life through detailed project plans, drawings, and blueprints. Alongside these, architects prepare project specifications that detail:

  • Types of materials
  • Manufacturing standards
  • Colors and finishes
  • Additional technical requirements

3. Bidding Stage: Where We Excel

Once the project plans and specifications are ready, the project owner releases a tender document, inviting General Contractors (GC) to submit bids. This is where construction estimation plays a vital role.


The Role of Construction Estimation in Bidding

Accurate Takeoffs: The Foundation of a Winning Bid

General Contractors rely on accurate takeoffs to prepare their bids. These takeoffs can be done by:

  • In-house estimating teams
  • Professional outsourced estimating companies like Extensive Construction Estimation

Our team ensures every material, quantity, and cost detail is meticulously calculated, providing contractors with a reliable estimate for competitive bidding.

Submitting the Bid

After preparing detailed takeoffs, the contractor prices the project and submits a bid. The project owner then evaluates all submitted bids to identify the lowest responsive bidder—the contractor who not only offers the lowest price but also meets all technical requirements.

Construction Estimation and Bidding: How Extensive Construction Estimation Fits In

The construction industry is competitive, with multiple contractors vying for every project. Winning bids require precise, detailed, and timely construction estimates.

At Extensive Construction Estimation, we help contractors and bidders streamline their bidding process with industry-leading construction estimation services.

The Role of Construction Estimation in the Bidding Process

Why Accurate Estimates Matter

On average, contractors win only 1 out of every 5 bids they submit. With our services, this ratio improves to 1 in 3. How? By providing:

  • Accurate Quantity Takeoffs: We analyze blueprints and project specifications meticulously.
  • Fluff-Free Estimates: As an independent estimator, we avoid overestimating quantities, keeping your bids competitive.
  • Time-Saving Solutions: Contractors can focus on more bids while we handle the time-consuming task of estimating.

Challenges Faced by Contractors

  1. Limited In-House Estimating Capacity: Many contractors rely on small teams or make assumptions due to time constraints, leading to scope gaps and overestimations.
  2. Tighter Deadlines: Increasingly compressed bidding schedules make it difficult to prepare accurate takeoffs.
  3. Collaboration Barriers: External factors like COVID-19 have made it harder to coordinate for precise estimates.

Our team steps in as an extension of your in-house staff, offering flexible, pay-per-project services with no long-term contracts.
