Exploring the Benefits of Hiring Remote Estimators for Your Projects

Remote estimating services are increasingly popular in the U.S., especially in construction and engineering.

Remote estimators calculate project costs and resources without visiting the site, using digital tools and project data to estimate expenses like materials and labor.

You can outsource them from different locations, communicating online with project teams to assist with budgeting, planning, and decision-making.

This trend aligns with findings from McKinsey’s American Opportunity Survey, which shows that 82% of employees in architecture and engineering have the option to work remotely.

With labor shortages in construction and engineering, remote work and flexible options have become crucial for attracting and retaining skilled professionals.

The Advantages of Hiring Remote Estimators

So, what are the benefits of hiring a remote estimator? Here are a few key ones.

Cost Efficiency

One of the biggest advantages is cost-effective estimating for your project estimation needs.

Savings on Overhead Costs: Office space, utilities, and other expenses specific to the US market.
Compared to hiring in-house, you cut down on overhead costs such as office space, utilities, and other US-specific expenses.

Competitive Global Salaries: Access to talent in regions with lower costs compared to US-based estimators.
By leveraging global expertise for US projects, you capitalize on the strong US dollar and relatively lower wages in the Philippines, resulting in notable cost savings and high-quality results.

Access to a Global Talent Pool

With labor shortages in this industry, businesses can access a bigger talent pool to find skilled professionals who may not be available locally.

Specialized Experts: Hiring from different regions globally to meet specific project needs in the US.
The engineering and construction industry is highly technical, hence the shortage of specialized experts.
Hiring specialized estimators from abroad increases your chances of finding the right talent for specific US project needs.

Diverse Experience: Leveraging varied backgrounds and industry knowledge, including international expertise that benefits US projects.
By hiring global talent, you can leverage diverse experience in remote estimation for your US projects.
This brings new perspectives and improves problem-solving with various approaches and insights.

Technological Integration

With the right technology, you can improve communication, boost collaboration, and make remote estimating more efficient and accurate.

Remote Collaboration Tools: Platforms like Slack, Zoom, and Asana for seamless communication across US and global teams.
With remote collaboration tools like Slack, Zoom, and Asana, you can easily manage projects and maintain clear communication across the US and your Filipino remote estimators.

Advances in Cloud Computing: Secure and efficient data handling for remote work, with a focus on US compliance standards.
When working with remote estimators, cloud computing keeps your data secure and compliant with US standards.
For example, using cloud-based platforms like Google Workspace or Microsoft Azure ensures that your data is encrypted, access-controlled, and meets US compliance requirements, providing a secure environment for working on remote estimates.

How to Successfully Integrate Remote Estimators into Your Team

Remote estimators can work smoothly with an existing in-house steam, with the right preparation:

Onboarding Remote Estimators

When onboarding your remote estimators, companies like Remote Staff can assist with the initial setup (e.g., installing monitoring software, setting up communication channels) for a more seamless experience.

After this, you can clearly outline your expectations and provide training on your company’s processes so they can modify their workflow to meet performance standards.

Smooth Onboarding Process: Steps to integrate remote staff effectively into US-based projects.

Here are some more detailed steps to ensure a smooth integration:

Define Roles and Responsibilities

Clearly outline each remote estimator’s member’s role, expectations, and key tasks.

Provide Essential Tools

Make sure they have access to the software, communication platforms, and project management tools your company uses.

Facilitate Team Integration

Introduce your remote estimator to team members and schedule regular check-ins to build rapport and to resolve any issues.

Set Clear Goals and Deadlines

Set performance metrics and deadlines to monitor progress and keep projects on track.

Introduction to Company Culture: Aligning remote estimators with your business values, particularly within the US cultural context.

When hiring remote estimators, help them adapt to your company culture and US working style by offering clear guidelines and encouraging open communication.

Uphold a direct communication style, where clear and straightforward updates are preferred.

Additionally, you can stress the importance of punctuality and meeting deadlines, which are crucial in any working environment in the US.

Communication Tools and Strategies

The right ones keep your team connected and enable them to collaborate effectively.

Recommended Collaboration Tools: Tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams for daily communication across US and remote teams.

Here are some of our recommendations for collaboration tools:

Slack Ideal for quick messaging, channel-based conversations, and integration with other tools.

Microsoft TeamsGreat for chat, video meetings, and document collaboration within a unified platform.

ZoomUseful for video conferencing and virtual meetings.

AsanaHelps manage projects and track task progress in real-time.

Trello Provides visual project management with boards, lists, and cards for task tracking.

 

Regular Virtual Meetings: Importance of consistent check-ins and updates, considering US time zones.

With remote teams, it’s crucial to have consistent check-ins to maintain alignment, address any issues promptly, and keep everyone updated, especially across different time zones.

For example, if you have Filipino remote staff working night shifts and your office hours start at 8 AM EST, you can hold a weekly team meeting every Monday at 10 AM EST (10 PM PHT) and brief check-ins every Wednesday at 3 PM EST (3 AM PHT the next day).

This ensures that you accommodate various time zones while keeping the team aligned and addressing urgent matters effectively.

Ultimately, choose a schedule that best suits your team’s workflow and time zone differences.

Performance Monitoring and Feedback

Regularly assess the output from the remote estimators to ensure they meet project control standards and goals. This includes tracking productivity, quality of work, and adherence to deadlines.

Here are some tips to effectively monitor performance and provide constructive feedback.

Clear KPIs for Remote Estimators: Setting and tracking performance goals, with benchmarks relevant to US projects.

Setting clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) helps remote estimators meet project goals better. KPIs should be specific, measurable, and relevant.

For example, you can set KPIs such as the number of estimates completed per week, accuracy of cost predictions compared to actual costs, and adherence to deadlines.

Regular Performance Reviews: Providing constructive feedback and addressing issues promptly, ensuring compliance with US labor practices.

Regular performance reviews involve giving constructive feedback and promptly addressing issues, which helps ensure remote estimators meet expectations.

For example, schedule bi-weekly reviews to discuss progress, provide feedback, and resolve any concerns.

This process helps maintain high standards and ensures compliance with US labor practices.
