How it works
01
Send us your scope

Email your PDF drawing set and a brief scope description to info@hbisearch.com. Not sure what to send? Request a sample takeoff first — no obligation, no cost.

02
We deliver the work

Our vetted estimators produce a complete, RSMeans-priced takeoff with quantities by area, waste factors applied, and all assumptions documented. Ready within 48 hours.

03
Review, submit, win

Apply your margin and submit the bid. If you want dedicated ongoing capacity, we place a permanent estimator with your team — fully onboarded and working in under 3 weeks.

Why HBI Search
Tested
Every estimator passes a live takeoff test

Before we present any candidate or assign any work, they complete a real takeoff from live drawings. Correct units, waste factors applied, location modifiers, assumptions documented. We see the work before you do.

Accountable
UK-based. One person to call.

You are dealing with a British consultancy throughout — not an anonymous offshore platform. If something is wrong, you call us and we fix it. That accountability is built into every engagement from day one.

Fast
48-hour turnaround, every time

Bid deadlines wait for no one. Our estimators work US hours — your drawings are being processed while your team is offline. You open your laptop in the morning to a completed, priced takeoff.

Compliant
International employment handled for you

EOR setup, W-8BEN documentation, contractor arrangements — we guide the process and support your team throughout. One clean invoice from a UK entity. No cross-border HR complexity on your desk.
