Herb Fletcher went from trusting his gut on fireproofing bids to producing 375% more of them — in less time, at lower cost.
Case Study
375% More Bids. 83% Less Time. How Hf3 Construction Transformed Their Estimating
Hf3 Construction started as a small commercial construction company in 2001 and expanded into fireproofing two years later. Owner and sole estimator Herb Fletcher had spent years piecing bids together with PlanSwift and Excel — what he called “a really bad version of The EDGE.” After five years of searching for something better, he found Estimating Edge through a supplier recommendation and never looked back.
The numbers are hard to argue with: Fletcher now produces 375% more bids per month, spends 83% less time per bid, and cut his cost-per-bid from $1,200 to a fraction of that. Within four months of adopting The EDGE, revenue was already up 30% — and climbing. “We could be tripling our revenue. It’s THAT good,” Fletcher said.
