Cost estimating services for Residential Architects and Contractors in the Charlottesville area

In 2017 Jim left a career in retail management to start a construction business with two of his brothers. After several years Jim sold his shares and started a journey that led him to work for 3 different contractors. During this time, Jim learned that custom residential contractors in the Charlottesville area generally had little to no system for estimating. Many owners were handling their own estimates, or handing them off to someone else on the team who already had full-time responsibilities. Others builders were experiencing a revolving door of estimators.
In response to this need, Candid was started in December of 2024. Our mission: to support small to mid-size contractors with their estimating needs. Our clients are more business focused, more profitable, and are growing.
Since starting, our team has estimated over 50 projects for 12 contractors totaling just under $14,000,000.
Our clients find they have more time to focus on the business, estimates are more accurate and detailed, and projects are more profitable.
