Work With Us
Estimating Strategy

Audit and rebuild your estimating process from the ground up — systems, team structure, and tools — to maximize win rates and protect margin on every bid.

Opportunity Analysis

Stop chasing the wrong work. We build scalable opportunity scoring models using your historical data, industry trends, and team capacity to identify high-EV bids.

Proposal Strategy

Transform your proposals from line-item price lists into compelling, differentiated narratives that resonate with evaluators and justify your number.

Project Controls

Custom tracking tools that feed field data back into your estimates — unlocking faster invoicing, tighter reporting, and bids that get sharper with every project.

Construction Management

Owner's rep and full-service CM — from site selection and bid package development through mobilization and closeout, with your best interests as the constant north star.

Business Advisory

Planning to scale, seek bonding capacity, or position for an exit? We help construction businesses build the financial and operational infrastructure that maximizes enterprise value.

How It Works

From engagement to execution in four steps.

Step 01
Discovery Call

We learn your business — current win rate, team structure, pipeline targets, and where you're bleeding margin. No templates, just honest assessment.

Step 02
Diagnostic Audit

We review recent bids, project data, and your estimating workflow to identify specific gaps and quantify the opportunity cost of your current approach.

Step 03
Strategy Delivery

You receive a prioritized action plan with specific recommendations, tools, and templates — built for your team, not a hypothetical contractor.

Step 04
Implementation Support

We stay engaged through rollout, training your team and refining the process as real bids go out — until winning is the new normal.

The contractors who win consistently aren't just good estimators — they have systems that make good estimating inevitable.

— Build With Data Advisory Principle

Let's talk about your next bid cycle.

We work with a select group of federal and civil contractors each quarter. If you're serious about winning more work without guessing, reach out and let's see if we're the right fit.
