Outsourcing Estimating for Construction and Trade Businesses

In today's fast moving construction industry, accurate and timely estimating is the backbone of winning jobs and maintaining profitability. Yet, for many small to mid-sized builders, tradies, and contractors, managing this function in-house is both time consuming and expensive. That’s where outsourcing estimating can be leveraged and why more businesses are turning to TTP Outsourcing for expert support.

What Is Estimating Outsourcing?

Outsourcing estimating means delegating the preparation of material take-offs, pricing, and quoting to experienced offshore professionals. It allows your business to access skilled estimators who work as part of your extended team, without the significant cost of a local hire.

At TTP Outsourcing, we connect construction businesses with highly qualified estimators based in the Philippines. Our team members are trained in Australian standards and understand the unique demands of the local market.

The Benefits of Outsourced Estimating

1. Save Time and Focus on the Worksite

Preparing detailed estimates can take hours, sometimes days of work. By outsourcing to TTP’s dedicated estimators, you free up your time (or your team’s time) to focus on what matters most: delivering projects and growing your business.

2. Reduce Overheads Without Sacrificing Quality

Hiring an in-house estimator means adding to your payroll, plus the costs of recruitment, training, and office space. Our outsourced solution gives you a full-time team member at a fraction of the cost with no compromise on skills or output.

3. Scale Faster

Got more tenders to submit? No problem. With outsourcing, it’s easy to scale up estimating support as your business grows - without the headaches of hiring locally. TTP’s flexible model grows with your needs, giving you room to take on more projects and increase your win rate.

4. Access Expertise

Our estimators have hands-on experience working with builders, construction managers, and tradies across Australia and New Zealand. From residential builds to commercial fit-outs, we’ll match you with a specialist who knows your field.

5. Improve Accuracy and Reduce Risk

When your estimating is handled by a trained professional who’s focused solely on getting it right, you reduce the risk of costly errors. Our team works with attention to detail and tools you're already using - like Cubit, Buildxact, or Groundplan to ensure every quote is sharp, clear, and competitive.
