How Active Plumbing Solved Remote Estimating with F5
How Active Plumbing used F5 Hiring Solutions to build a remote estimating team from India, cutting costs while maintaining quality and turnaround time.
The Challenge
Active Plumbing, like most construction companies, faced a persistent challenge: skilled estimators and project support staff are expensive to hire locally and difficult to retain. The shortage of qualified estimators was creating bottlenecks and limiting the company's ability to bid on more projects.
Why F5
F5's construction practice specializes in placing remote professionals from India — including estimators, CAD drafters, and project administrators — for U.S. construction companies. The all-inclusive weekly rate of $375–$700 for construction professionals represented a significant cost reduction compared to local hiring.
The F5 Process
F5 sourced and vetted construction professionals with the specific technical background Active Plumbing needed. The shortlist was delivered within 7–14 business days. After selection, F5 handled all employment, equipment, and onboarding.
The Outcome
Active Plumbing built a reliable remote estimating capability at a fraction of local hiring costs. The remote team integrated with the company's existing workflows and delivered consistent output.
"Professional, responsive, and operationally sound. F5 understood what we needed in construction support and delivered professionals who could actually do the work."
