How the service works.
Matching, onboarding, day-to-day work and guarantees with a dedicated Get Ninja estimator.
Can I hire an electrical estimator or earthwork estimator who specializes in my CSI division?
Yes. Get Ninja matches by CSI division, not by whoever is available. On your discovery call we confirm the divisions your estimator needs to cover, such as Division 26 electrical or Division 31 earthwork and sitework, plus your project types and software, then pair you with an estimator trained for that trade. GCs get multi-trade coverage; subcontractors get a division specialist who already knows their trade.
What happens in the first 30 days with a new remote estimator?
Your first 30 days follow a structured plan. Onboarding starts with a Business Deconstruction Meeting to map your bid workflow and set a clear 30-day plan. Over a 3-week ramp-up your estimator learns your projects, software setup, bid style and subcontractor relationships, with real takeoff work typically by week 3 to 4. You name one point of contact, and we hold recurring check-ins.
Will the estimator work inside my software and follow my pricing?
Yes. Your estimator works inside the stack you already run, whether that's Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, On-Screen Takeoff, STACK, Procore, Sage Estimating, CoConstruct or an Excel-based workflow, and we confirm your exact setup during onboarding. They price to your numbers: you show them how you price, and they build takeoffs, bid leveling, sub quote tracking and proposals to your pricing and margins while maintaining your estimate database.
Can a remote estimator work US hours in my time zone?
Yes. Get Ninja estimators set their schedules to your time zone and work full-time, 160 hours a month, on your bids only. You reach them through the tools you already use, such as email, Slack, Teams, phone or Procore, and Get Ninja also provides a direct US phone line and WhatsApp integration so your estimator stays connected with you, your vendors and your subcontractors.
How accurate are the estimates, and who checks the work?
Accuracy comes from training plus your final review. Every Get Ninja estimator is tested on real blueprints and takeoffs, trained in precise quantity takeoffs, cost verification and quality control, and works from a standardized SOP playbook. Get Ninja tracks output with KPIs and regular performance reviews. Your estimator prepares takeoffs and draft estimates; you keep final review and approval of every bid before it goes out.
Who owns the takeoffs and estimates, and is my bid data kept confidential?
You do. Under Get Ninja's terms, you own the work output your estimator produces, including takeoffs, quantity surveys and draft estimates, and you keep ownership of your data. Your pricing, takeoffs, bid strategies and subcontractor relationships are treated as confidential information, used only to deliver your service, and shared only with people who need it and are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations.
Is there a long-term contract for a dedicated estimator?
No. Get Ninja runs on month-to-month billing with no setup fees and no long-term contract. Your flat monthly rate covers your estimator's full-time hours (160 a month), all software training, the replacement guarantee, performance reviews and a direct US phone line. You can cancel with 30 days notice, and add or remove estimators with 30 days notice as your bid volume changes.
How does the estimator replacement guarantee work?
If your estimator isn't performing to standard, Get Ninja swaps them out at no charge, for the life of your account. Send a written request to your account manager and we start the re-match; the terms allow up to three replacements per point of contact in any rolling 12-month period. In your first 30 days, the 30-day money-back guarantee also applies (terms apply).
