The Controls Desk provides outsourced building automation system (BAS) estimating and preconstruction support to controls contractors and system integrators throughout the United States. We help contractors increase estimating capacity, pursue more bid opportunities, and manage workload spikes without adding full-time estimating staff.

Backed by extensive real-world BAS project, design, and preconstruction experience, The Controls Desk provides practical, contractor-focused support including plan and specification review, controls scope development, equipment and point takeoffs, bill of materials development, labor estimating, RFIs, assumptions, and estimate preparation using client standards and pricing. Whether you need help with a single bid or ongoing estimating capacity, The Controls Desk can function as an extension of your preconstruction team.
