The challenge

Where they started

Alpha Bravo's in-house estimating team was the bottleneck on every bid. Takeoffs and pricing took days, forcing them to pass on opportunities or submit rushed numbers. Hiring locally was slow and expensive, and each new estimator took months to become productive.

Our approach

What we did

  • We embedded vetted remote estimators directly into Alpha Bravo's existing bid workflow, no new tools to learn, no process disruption.
  • A shared cadence of daily handoffs let the team work takeoffs overnight, so pricing was ready when the office opened.
  • Clear SLAs and named owners kept accountability tight as volume scaled up.

The outcome, on record

Faster delivery. Lower hiring friction. Scalable support
