Case Study: W. M. Schlosser Co. Inc. achieves faster, highly accurate estimates and more profitable bids with Sage Construction

Fast, Accurate Estimates Help W. M. Schlosser Construction Win More Bids

W.M. Schlosser Construction Company is a Maryland–Virginia government general contractor handling fixed-price projects up to about $50M, including water treatment plants, courthouses, prisons, and airports. In a highly competitive market with volatile material costs and slow subcontractor responses, the company needed faster, more accurate, and consistent estimates to win profitable bids.

By adopting Sage Estimating, Schlosser standardized its estimating process with a familiar spreadsheet-style interface that supports collaboration and protects formulas. The result: estimates that once took four hours now take about 20 minutes, material costs within $43 of actuals on a recent job, elimination of spreadsheet errors, and improved ability to validate subcontractor bids—helping the company win more profitable projects.
