Our Story
Phoenix Estimations was founded with a straightforward mission: give construction contractors access to professional-grade estimating without the overhead of a full-time in-house team. We saw too many contractors — especially small and mid-size subs — losing bids because they couldn't estimate fast enough, or losing money because their estimates weren't accurate enough. Hiring a dedicated estimator at $70,000-$90,000/year plus software licenses wasn't viable for companies bidding on 5-10 projects per month. So we built a service that solves both problems. Our team of experienced construction estimators — specialists in electrical, MEP, concrete, masonry, metals, finishes, roofing, and every other CSI division — works as your outsourced estimating department. You send us plans, we send back bid-ready estimates with RSMeans pricing and marked-up plans. Single trades start at $150. Monthly packages start at $2,000. No salary, no software licenses, no overhead. Just accurate estimates delivered on time.
To empower construction contractors of every size with accurate, affordable, and fast construction cost estimates — so they can bid with confidence, win more projects, and grow their businesses without the burden of maintaining expensive in-house estimating departments.
To become the most trusted construction estimating partner in North America — the firm that contractors call first when they need an estimate they can stake their bid on.
Accuracy First
Every estimate is reviewed by a senior estimator before delivery. We stake our reputation on accuracy — not speed alone.
Contractor-Centric
We format estimates the way contractors actually bid — by system, by phase, by floor — not the way academics teach estimating.
Transparency
Upfront pricing, no hidden fees, no scope surprises. You know what you're paying and what you're getting before we start.
Deadline Reliability
Bid deadlines are non-negotiable. We deliver on time, every time — because a late estimate is a lost opportunity.

"Phoenix Estimations replaced our in-house estimator and handles 25+ bids per month across concrete, masonry, and metals. Accuracy improved, costs dropped 60%, and our win rate doubled. Best outsourcing decision we ever made."
"As a startup GC in Calgary, we couldn't afford an in-house estimator. Phoenix became our entire estimating department. In our second year, we completed 17 projects and grew to 12 employees — all because we could finally bid competitively."
"We've used Phoenix for electrical, MEP, and HVAC estimates on over 50 projects now. Their turnaround is consistently under 48 hours for residential, and the marked-up plans make it easy to verify every measurement. Highly recommended."
