In our 2 part series on estimates, the guys discuss the entire estimating process from first client contact to the official written estimate you submit to the client. They have developed their process over 16 years of running a general contracting company and discovered a way to write great estimates, impress clients, and easily duplicate it throughout their project managers. In part 1, we cover the first client contact and the desk estimate. A desk estimate is an estimate that is created while speaking to the client over the phone before going onsite. By having the client provide a list of what they want to have done and relevant pictures, you can create a ball-park estimate that creates trust with the client and sets up a great onsite estimate visit. It also allows you to weed out tire kickers and get a sense of how working with the client will potentially go. Tune in to today's episode to hear how to intake potential clients and write purposeful desk estimates.
