Why General Contractors & Trades Staff Through Zedtreeo
Bidding capacity lags. Submittals stall. RFI log is 400 open. PMs drown in paperwork. Zedtreeo gives you dedicated remote construction staff — Procore-fluent, CSI-aware and sized to your project portfolio.
Procore, PlanGrid & construction-tech fluent
Every hire is vetted on Procore, PlanGrid (Autodesk Build), Bluebeam Revu, Primavera P6, MS Project, Bentley, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, ComputerEase, Buildertrend — no generic admins learning your stack mid-project.
70–90% cost savings
A US project engineer runs $75K fully loaded. A Zedtreeo project engineer starts at $1,120/month — you can staff a full 5-person PM support pod for less than one onshore PE, freeing superintendents and PMs for the field.
CSI, code & contract aware
Staff trained on CSI MasterFormat and UniFormat, AIA contract documents, AISC steel specs, IBC, ASCE, IRC and region-specific building codes (NCC, UK Building Regs, NBC, Eurocodes). No wasted onboarding time.
Bid capacity on demand
Scale estimating and preconstruction capacity up for bid season, down after — no full-time hiring risk. Dedicated estimators who learn your historical unit pricing and subcontractor database, not a rotating bid-shop.
Is a Construction & Contracting Staff from Zedtreeo Right for You?
Be honest — here's who wins with us and who doesn't.
This Is For You If…
- You run a general contractor, design-build firm, specialty trade subcontractor, CM/PM firm or developer-builder
- Your PMs spend more time on submittal logs, RFIs and change orders than on project delivery
- Your estimating team can't keep up with bid volume and you're no-bidding winnable work
- You need scheduling, document control or BIM coordination support across multiple active projects
- You're growing and can't hire project engineers or estimators fast enough at local comp
This Is Not For You If…
- You need licensed engineers of record, PMP-signed stamped documents or field superintendents
- You need onsite trades (carpenters, electricians, masons) — physical site roles stay onshore
- Your projects depend entirely on paper-only, non-cloud workflows
- You want a 2-week project patch — we staff long-term dedicated team members

Construction & Contracting Teams Who Moved the Needle
Real clients. Real outcomes. Real savings.
GC 3× bid volume with offshore estimating pod
A US mid-sized GC was no-bidding 40% of RFPs due to estimator bandwidth. A Zedtreeo 5-person estimating pod took over quantity takeoffs, subcontractor bid solicitation and bid assembly — bid submission volume tripled and hit ratio held.
Read case study →Specialty sub cut submittal cycle 55% with Procore pod
A mechanical specialty sub had 200+ open submittals across 12 projects. A Zedtreeo 4-person submittal and RFI pod owned Procore hygiene and expediting — submittal cycle dropped 55% and schedule float recovered.
Read case study →Developer-builder cleared 18-month as-built backlog
A regional developer-builder had 22 closed-out projects missing complete as-built drawings — blocking warranty claims and future permit submissions. A Zedtreeo 3-person document control pod cleared the backlog in 4 months.
Read case study →Trusted by Operators Globally
Founders and COOs who scaled their teams with Zedtreeo construction and contracting teams.
"My Zedtreeo estimating pod tripled our bid volume without adding an onshore headcount. Our hit ratio didn't drop — they know my historical pricing and my sub base now better than some of my in-house guys."
"Our offshore Procore team runs submittals and RFIs across 12 active jobs. My PMs are on site instead of at a screen. Schedule recovery alone paid for the pod twice over."
"Zedtreeo cleared eighteen months of as-built backlog we'd given up on. Warranty claims we thought were dead money got paid. I can't recommend them enough for construction back-office."
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything operators ask before hiring a construction and contracting staff from Zedtreeo.
How much does remote construction and contracting staffing cost at Zedtreeo?+
Construction staff starts from $7/hour ($1,120/month, $13,440/year). Document controllers and submittal coordinators sit at the entry tier; senior estimators, schedulers and BIM coordinators run $8–12/hour. Total cost lands 70–90% below onshore equivalents once you factor in benefits, PE software, training and supervision.
What construction software do your staff work in?+
Procore, Autodesk Build (PlanGrid), Bluebeam Revu, Primavera P6, MS Project, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, ComputerEase, BuilderTREND, Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, On-Screen Takeoff, PlanSwift, STACK and custom GC/sub systems. Match on exact stack before placement.
Do your estimators know US, UK, AU, CA and Middle East construction standards?+
Yes. Estimators and PE support are trained on CSI MasterFormat, AIA contract docs, IBC, IRC, ASCE, AISC (US), NCC (Australia), UK Building Regs, NBC (Canada), Eurocodes and local authority approval workflows. Matched on geography during vetting.
Can your staff produce stamped drawings or sealed estimates?+
No — licensure stays onshore. Our staff prepare takeoffs, estimates, schedules, submittals and coordination work; your licensed PE or architect reviews, seals and signs. Think of them as extended pre-con and project management capacity.
How fast can we onboard construction staff?+
Shortlist of 2–3 pre-vetted candidates within 48 hours. Procore/PlanGrid access, SOP walkthrough and first bid or RFI package assignment in week one. Most estimators are running live takeoffs under supervision by day 7–10.
Can they handle BIM coordination and clash detection?+
Yes. BIM coordinators are portfolio-verified on Navisworks, Revit (Architecture, Structure, MEP) and coordination workflows — clash detection, model federation, ACC Design Collaboration, LOD 300–400 production and as-built model hand-off.
Can we hire one estimator or do we need a full team?+
Either. Small subs start with one estimator or document controller. Mid-market GCs build 6–10 person PM support pods covering estimating, scheduling, submittals and as-builts. We'll recommend based on project count and trade mix.
What if a takeoff or submittal has errors?+
5-day free trial. Post-trial every takeoff has a defined peer-review cycle and QC checklist before your PM signs off. Error rate tracked weekly — replacement within 7–14 days at no cost if quality drops. Most estimators run under 1.5% unit-count variance after onboarding.
