Win More High-Value Contracts

You Should Have Won That Job… But You Didn’t — Here’s Why

If you're relying on slow, outdated estimating methods, you’re not just making the process harder for yourself — you’re losing high-value contracts to builders who quote faster, present more professional proposals, and instill confidence in their clients.

Another builder just landed the contract you quoted. Again.

You spent hours on your estimate — double-checking costs, making sure everything was accounted for. You were sure your bid was solid.

But before you even hit send, the client had already moved on.

And it wasn’t because you were too expensive.

It was because your competitor got their estimate in first — and it looked more professional.

Most builders assume they need to lower their prices to win jobs, but that’s not always the case. Actually, it’s the builders who quote faster, present clear and detailed estimates, and make clients feel confident from day one who secure the best contracts.

Why You Keep Losing Jobs

And How to Stop It

It’s not always because your prices are too high. Or because your competitors are more experienced.

You often lose jobs because of these three mistakes:

  1. Your estimates take too long. The client doesn’t wait. They go with the first builder who gives them a confident, clear proposal.
  2. Your pricing isn’t clear enough. If clients don’t fully understand your estimate, they hesitate. Hesitation leads to lost contracts.
  3. Your proposal doesn’t inspire confidence. A spreadsheet or rough quote feels unpolished — clients assume your project management will be the same.

Every estimate you send is a direct reflection of your professionalism and expertise. A rushed or vague quote doesn’t just hurt your chances of winning a contract — it undermines your credibility and can cost you thousands in missed opportunities.

It’s Not Just ‘One Contract’ — It’s Thousands in Lost Profits

Losing even one contract isn’t just frustrating — it’s a direct hit to your business. When an $800,000.00 job goes to a competitor, here’s what it really costs you:

  • $40,000+ in profit — gone. That’s money that should have been in your pocket, fuelling your business growth.
  • Weeks of wasted effort. Time spent quoting, rechecking numbers, and negotiating — all for nothing.
  • A lost client — and future referrals. The builder who won that job just secured repeat business, recommendations, and credibility that could have been yours.

If you’ve lost just five jobs like this in a year, that’s over $200,000 in lost profit.

What’s that doing to your business, and how can you fix it?

Think Losing a Job is Costly? The Real Damage Runs Deeper.

You already know what it feels like to lose a contract — but do you know how much your current estimating process is actually costing you each year?

Take this 3-minute quiz to find out where time, money, and margin are slipping through the cracks — and how to fix it fast.

What Builders Say After Making the Switch

Real Stories of Winning More Jobs With V2E

You’re not the only builder who’s missed out on high-value contracts. The difference is — these builders did something about it.
Once they switched to V2E, they started quoting faster, winning more jobs, and finally gaining the competitive edge they’d been chasing.
Here’s what they’re saying:

Imagine If Every Contract Felt Like a Sure Win

Picture this: You send an estimate in a matter of hours — before your competitors even start crunching numbers. The client doesn’t hesitate because your proposal is clear, itemised, and backed by a 3D model that removes all doubt.

You’re not chasing jobs anymore — clients are coming to you. They trust your numbers, they trust you, and they’re ready to sign.

Instead of spending all your time fixing takeoffs, you finally find the work/life balance you’ve always wanted — and you don’t take work home with you anymore.

Now imagine steady, predictable growth, and a business that runs smoothly without you drowning in admin.

This is what happens when estimating becomes your competitive advantage — and all it takes is a simple switch to a smarter system that understands your unique needs.

Winning High-Value Contracts Starts with Precision and Speed

In a market where every builder claims to offer the best, 3D construction models (not to be mistaken for 3D renders, which are completely different) are one of the best ways to set yourself apart from the competition.

By providing your prospective clients with a realistic model of their future home and a detailed breakdown of costs, you’ll increase their confidence in your ability to deliver because they will know exactly what to expect.

As a result, they are more likely to choose you over competitors who only offer traditional estimates. In fact, this clarity can be…

The Difference that Makes the Difference in Securing High-Value Contracts

The question is: How can you sidestep those slow, vague, and disorganised estimates?

Here’s how V2E combines precision, speed, and fosters client trust to give you the one-up on your competitors:

Faster estimates mean more won contracts

Builders who submit their bids first have the upper hand. With us, you’ll generate precise, professional estimates in hours — not days — ensuring clients don’t go elsewhere while they wait for you.

3D construction models build trust & transparency

Unlike simple renders, 3D construction models show every structural detail, material specification, and construction method, giving you a complete view of the project. When clients can visualise exactly what they’re getting, hesitation disappears, and trust grows.

Professional, itemised proposals eliminate doubt

Clients hesitate when they receive vague estimates. Our estimating software provides fully detailed, visually supported proposals that justify costs and make it easy for clients to say 'yes.'

Identify problems early & avoid costly mistakes

3D models let you spot design conflicts, structural issues, or potential misalignments before construction begins, preventing budget blowouts and stressful client disputes.

No more costly miscalculations

One small oversight can eat thousands out of your profit. But with real-time, automated 3D takeoffs, every material is accounted for — before you even submit your bid.

Win based on expertise, not price

Builders who rely on low pricing to win jobs end up squeezing their margins. We help you win contracts based on accuracy, professionalism, and transparency — so you never have to undercut your worth.

Why Winning Builders Don’t Rely on Spreadsheets

The difference between winning a high-value contract and losing it often comes down to how your estimate is perceived. Clients don’t just look at numbers — they look at presentation, clarity, and speed. If your quote doesn’t impress in these areas, you’ll create doubt and inevitably push your clients toward a competitor.

With us, your estimates showcase professionalism, precision, and trustworthiness — positioning you as the clear choice.

Your Competitors Are Moving Fast — Will You Keep Up?

Here’s How V2E Helps You Stay Ahead

Generic estimating simply does not work — and how could it when every builder has different needs?
It’s time to put outdated estimating methods behind you and embrace specialised estimating services designed to fit your projects, your workflow, and your business goals.

Every detail accounted for. No more gaps, miscalculations, or unexpected costs.

Our Full Build Estimating service gives you a comprehensive, fully itemised estimate that includes materials, labour, supplier pricing, and even 3D construction models — so nothing is left to chance.

Ever had an estimate come back to haunt you mid-project? Maybe a beam was missing, or your foundation costs were way off. In the building industry, small miscalculations can quickly snowball into major headaches.

That’s where structural design & estimating comes in, helping you to:

  • Flag potential issues before construction starts — so there are no nasty surprises
  • Ensure every structural element is accounted for — from beams to reinforcements
  • Build with precision instead of hoping your estimate holds up

Not every project fits inside a template — and neither should your estimating process. Whether you're quoting custom homes, high-end renovations, or complex builds, our team adapts to your needs so you get the most precise, tailored estimates possible.

  • Built for your workflow — so you’re never adjusting a generic system to fit your projects.
  • Detailed, transparent cost breakdowns that build trust with clients and win more jobs.
  • More accuracy, less stress, and no second-guessing your numbers.

If You’re Still Losing Contracts to Faster Builders, It’s Time to Turn the Tables in Your Favour

You put hours into your estimates — but so do your competitors. The difference?

  • They submit their bids faster.
  • Their proposals look more professional.
  • They win the jobs — while you’re still adjusting your numbers.

But winning contracts shouldn’t be about lowering your price. Instead, closing high-value deals comes down to speed, clarity, and confidence.

If you’re tired of missing out on high-value projects, it’s time to upgrade your estimating process.
