When it comes to winning bids for your electrical, HVAC, or plumbing business, you want to know you’re going to make a profit. Unfortunately, properly estimating for your bids, work load, and crew is not always an easy task. At Astra Estimating Services, their independent estimators can help provide you with the reliable estimating services you need to help your business improve its win/loss ratio for bids and become more profitable.
