Residential & Business Excavation Bid Estimator
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a seasoned estimator who can turn my field notes and plans into clear, competitive bids for both residential and small-business excavation projects. Typical jobs range from initial site preparation through trenching, grading, foundation work, and full basement digs, so you’ll be comfortable breaking down costs across that entire scope.
Here’s what you’ll be doing for each request:
• Review drawings, soils reports, and any photos I provide.
• Generate accurate quantity take-offs for earthwork, equipment hours, materials, and disposal.
• Apply current local labor, trucking, and material rates—and flag any cost drivers I should know about.
• Deliver a concise bid sheet that I can forward straight to the client, plus an internal cost breakdown for my files.
• Turn small residential quotes around within 24–48 hours and larger packages within three business days.
I’m flexible on the tools you use—Excel, specialized estimating software, or even manual calculations—so long as the math is airtight and the files are easy for me to review and adjust later.
If you’ve priced out site-prep or basement excavation before and can point to wins your numbers helped secure, I’d love to see a sample.
