Managing multiple bids and tight deadlines can make in-house estimating challenging, especially when resources are limited. Inaccurate or rushed estimates often lead to cost overruns and lost opportunities. How do companies decide when to look outside their team for estimating support?

I’m curious to know others’ experiences—has outsourcing estimating helped improve accuracy or turnaround time on your projects?
