Recent studies have found that the best model to manage construction offices is a mix of in-house employees and outsourced services.

Outsourcing has succeeded in helping businesses in many aspects such as risk reduction, boosting productivity, working within SOPs, quality control, and better customer service.

One of the main upsides of hiring construction outsourcing services, such as quantity take-offs, material take-offs, cost estimating, drafting, scheduling, PO’s, and CO’s management relies on reducing overhead costs and handling administrative tasks more efficiently.

By opening the door to outsourcing offshore new talent and skills, construction offices can lower overhead costs such as salaries, equipment, and software, while focusing their trained in-house staff on the more crucial tasks.

I will expand on how to reduce your overhead costs and the advantages of outsourcing in the following paragraphs:

What Are Those Advantages?

Advantages, and the final decision on whether you should get outsourcing, rely on the projects your business is handling.

For example, if you are building large scale projects that demand expertise and a large professional staff, it can get expensive, and you’ll incur significant overheads.

Or, if you have a large volume of small and medium projects, you’ll require multiple estimators, managers, and administrative staff, your overheads will increase when investing in a bigger office, HR department, and new equipment.

The good thing is this a great time for you to outsource many of your companies tasks to reduce overhead costs while improving your inflow of projects and revenues.

Even though it sounds crazy to have architects, estimators, and construction administrators, working offshore, these days you can outsource almost anything from CAD Drafting, Take-Offs, Cost Estimates, to BIM Modeling to a Project’s financial, feasibility and market study.
