What's The Difference Between An Estimate And A Budget?

Cost Estimate and Budget Estimate are two different processes involving different procedures and both are essential for the complete construction planning process. The budget provides a complete overview of how much a project is estimated to cost including the complete project cost as well as the partial cost of each trade of the project scope. The budget should be within the available funds of the organization or stakeholders. On the other hand, cost estimates are the costs associated with the work packages within the project schedule. Cost estimates must include any assumptions made during the estimating process.

Who is Bidding Professionals?

Bidding Professionals is a New York based Construction Estimating Firm in the business of helping contractors prepare and win more bids.

Local pricing and accuracy of on-field labor productivity are imperative to win more projects so we help our clients prepare entire bids based on the zip codes and crew sizes.

Most contractors are so busy with their on-field tasks that they don’t have enough time to do the estimating. You’re supervising jobs, dealing with the suppliers, attending meetings, and the only time to work on estimating is NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS.

It doesn’t have to be that way!
