The Hidden Power Behind Every Winning Bid

In construction, the difference between landing the job and losing it often comes down to one thing — your estimate.

When bids are rushed, details missed, or material takeoffs inaccurate, contractors lose more than profit — they lose time, credibility, and future opportunities. SupportCrewe’s Sales Support Plan gives contractors the structure and accuracy they need to scale confidently

That’s where SupportCrewe’s Takeoff & Estimation services change the game.

Our dedicated team helps contractors prepare accurate, professional estimates powered by clear data and organized systems — all without slowing you down.

Why Estimation Accuracy Matters

Every successful project starts with clarity.

But for most contractors, estimating is one of the most time-consuming and stressful parts of the sales process.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone:

You’re juggling multiple bids at once.
Paper plans and takeoffs pile up faster than you can process them.
Your pricing fluctuates because material lists are missing details.
You’re using old templates or spreadsheets instead of integrated tools.

The result? Inconsistent estimates — and a lower chance of winning jobs.

Accurate takeoffs and organized estimating systems mean you can bid faster, stay competitive, and show clients that you run a professional operation. View National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) to learn more

How SupportCrewe Helps Contractors Win More Jobs

SupportCrewe’s Sales Support Plan gives you the structure and accuracy you need to scale confidently.

Here’s how it works:

🔹 1. Streamlined Takeoffs

Our team reviews your plans and blueprints to extract precise material quantities and labor needs.

Every line item is verified, logged, and ready to price — so you never overbid or underbid again. Our Takeoff & Estimation Service ensures precise material counts and labor breakdowns for every bid.

🔹 2. Professional Estimates

We prepare branded, detailed estimates that match your company style and show professionalism to your clients.

You review and approve — we handle the formatting, math, and presentation.

🔹 3. CRM Integration

All estimates, leads, and job notes are tracked in Odoo CRM, giving you a clear record from lead to handoff.

This system ensures your sales pipeline is always up-to-date and compliant. Digital estimating tools like ProEst’s resource hub help visualize cost breakdowns and improve bid speed.

🔹 4. Job Admin + Project Management Support

Once a client accepts your estimate, our team transitions the job into the project phase — managing schedules, logs, and updates so you can stay focused on delivery.
