Why contractors use Home Run

An estimator, not a counting service

Nine years of commercial and industrial bidding. I read drawings and specs the way your own estimator would, including what's missing from them.

More bids, same payroll

Go after the work you'd normally pass on, or clear the overflow when bid day stacks up, without adding a full-time estimator.

Confidential

Your plans, quantities, and bid information are never shared with anyone else.

Questions

What do you need from me?

The electrical drawings, plus architectural and mechanical sheets where they affect the scope, the Division 26 spec (and 27/28 if they're in your scope), any addenda, your bid date, and what you're bidding.

Do you price the materials?

No, and that's by design. You get quantities, labor hours, and a material list. You apply your own distributor pricing, labor rate, overhead, and markup, so the numbers stay yours.

What if an addendum comes out?

Send it over. Revisions are $85 per hour, and I'll tell you the estimated hours before I start.

How do I pay?

By emailed invoice with card or bank transfer. Small jobs are due on delivery. Standard and larger are 50% to start and 50% on delivery.

Where are you located?

Dallas–Fort Worth. The work is done remotely, so I can take plans from contractors anywhere in the U.S.
