Remote estimating for commercial plumbing contractors
Hire a Dedicated Remote Plumbing Estimator
Expand your plumbing estimating capacity without expanding your office overhead.
Veltronx places experienced plumbing estimators directly into U.S. contracting businesses. Your dedicated estimator can manage complete bids from plans and specifications through takeoffs, labor calculations, vendor pricing, scope development and final proposal preparation.
Your estimator works inside your existing estimating operation rather than functioning as a disconnected project-by-project service.
Complete Plumbing bids
From plans to proposal — not just a takeoff.
Your Veltronx Plumbing estimator can manage the complete estimating workflow based on your company's standards: reviewing project documents, completing the takeoff, calculating labor, building material and equipment pricing, coordinating suppliers, developing scope, accounting for addenda and revisions, and preparing the final proposal. The objective is simple: give your company the capacity to bid more work without forcing estimating overhead to grow at the same rate.

Not a generic VA
A real Plumbing estimator.
Plumbing estimating is specialized construction work.
Veltronx does not place generic virtual assistants into estimating positions and expect contractors to teach them construction from scratch.
We place trained and experienced construction professionals capable of operating inside real plumbing estimating workflows.
Your estimator integrates with your labor assumptions, estimating standards, preferred vendors, proposal format, software and bidding process and becomes an embedded extension of your estimating department.
The bottleneck
Increase bid volume without increasing overhead.
Growing plumbing contractors often reach a point where estimating capacity becomes the bottleneck.
More opportunities require more takeoffs. More takeoffs require more estimating hours. More bids require more vendor coordination, pricing and proposal preparation.
Traditionally, increasing bid volume means increasing estimating payroll.
Veltronx changes that equation. Increasing bid volume shouldn't mean increasing overhead.
