TSARSI

What TSARSI does

TSARSI is an outsourced services firm that supplies dedicated, full-time remote professionals — primarily construction estimators, drafters, engineers, and finance and administrative staff — to construction companies, building material dealers, and manufacturers across North America and Australia. The company's delivery model is built around a Vietnam-based bench of specialists located in Ho Chi Minh City, embedded into client workflows across multiple estimating and drafting software platforms including Mozaik, Cabinet Vision, ProjectPak, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, TSARSI reports 100% client retention since inception and serves a customer base of roughly 20 named accounts spanning millwork and custom woodworking, lumber and building materials, outdoor living/deck and railing (the primary vertical), and general construction contracting.

The company's core offerings span four service lines: Estimating Staffing, Drafting and Engineering Staffing, Material Sourcing (procurement of finished goods from Thailand and Vietnam with an explicit non-China policy), and Finance and Administrative Staffing. Underpinning these services is TSARSI Connect, a proprietary project management and workflow platform that provides clients with visibility into deliverables, time tracking, and team performance. Internally, the company uses AI-supported training systems to accelerate onboarding and upskilling of its offshore workforce, though this capability is positioned as an internal productivity lever rather than a customer-facing differentiator. Operational standards include ISO 27001 certification, LBM Advantage Preferred Vendor status, and active membership in NADRA, supporting credibility with enterprise procurement teams.

TSARSI operates on a subscription-style recurring revenue model, billing approximately $3,500 per month per dedicated full-time estimator or engineer — a price point the company claims delivers 50%+ labor cost savings versus equivalent US-based hires. The company is privately held and privately financed, with no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with a 75+ person offshore bench as its primary cost and capacity base. Customer engagement spans enterprise accounts such as Weyerhaeuser (sourcing partner) and Iverson's Lumber, mid-market customers such as Superior Decks & Railings and PowerPusher, and small-to-mid market accounts across the lumber and outdoor living verticals, with delivery typically structured as 24-48 hour turnaround on standardized estimating and drafting outputs.

Core offering

TSARSI provides dedicated full-time remote estimators, drafters, engineers, material sourcing specialists, and finance/administrative professionals to construction companies and building material dealers, primarily in North America and Australia. Service delivery is performed by a Vietnam-based operations team trained in the client's existing software (Bluebeam, STACK, AutoCAD, Revit, Microvellum, etc.) and processes, with no new platforms or workflow disruption required. The proprietary TSARSI Connect platform complements the staffing services with project tracking and team coordination across the estimating-to-award workflow.

Product overview

TSARSI provides outsourced construction staffing services as a unified offering combining dedicated estimating, drafting, engineering, material sourcing, and finance/administrative staffing solutions. The core model assigns full-time remote professionals (estimators, drafters, engineers) who integrate directly into clients' workflows using existing software and processes. TSARSI Connect serves as the complementary project management platform for tracking estimates and coordinating projects from bid to delivery. Services span estimating staffing for takeoff and cost estimation, drafting and engineering staffing for CAD/BIM deliverables, offshore material sourcing from Southeast Asia, and finance/administrative support—all priced at 50% or more savings versus local labor costs.

Direct peers

• Wishup: India-based virtual staffing company offering dedicated remote professionals (assistants, accountants, marketers) on subscription. Comparable offshore dedicated-staffing model to TSARSI, with similar value proposition of cost arbitrage and 24-hour productivity cycles across time zones.
• Time Etc: UK-headquartered virtual staffing company providing dedicated remote assistants to entrepreneurs and SMBs. Comparable dedicated-staffing subscription model to TSARSI, serving English-speaking markets with offshore delivery, though targeting general business support rather than construction-specific roles.
• Prialto: US-based virtual staffing company providing dedicated remote executive assistants and administrative support on subscription. Same dedicated-staffing business model as TSARSI with monthly recurring revenue, though focused on individual professional services rather than construction estimating.
• Tradesmen International: US-based construction staffing firm providing skilled tradespeople and construction support personnel to contractors. Closely comparable customer base (US construction contractors) to TSARSI, though Tradesmen focuses on skilled trades rather than preconstruction estimating and drafting services.
• 1840 & Company: Offshore staffing firm providing dedicated remote talent across multiple functions (admin, finance, marketing, operations) to US-based clients. Closely comparable to TSARSI's offshore dedicated-staffing model and cost-arbitrage value proposition, though without construction-vertical specialization.
• Boldly: Subscription-based virtual staffing firm providing dedicated remote executive assistants to professionals and small businesses. Closely mirrors TSARSI's recurring monthly subscription model with full-time dedicated staffing, though Boldly targets individual professionals and SMBs rather than construction firms.
• Belay Solutions: US-based subscription virtual staffing company providing dedicated remote professionals (executive assistants, bookkeepers, marketers) to SMB and mid-market clients. Directly comparable to TSARSI's recurring-revenue dedicated-staffing model, though Belay focuses on general business roles rather than construction-specific estimating.

Broad incumbents

• Robert Half: Major US-based staffing and consulting firm providing temporary, contract, and permanent placement across finance, technology, legal, and administrative roles. Broad incumbent comparable to TSARSI's dedicated-staffing model in concept, though operating at much larger scale and without offshore construction specialization.
• Kforce: Large US staffing firm providing temporary and direct-hire staffing across technology, finance, and professional services. Overlaps with TSARSI's staffing model at the broadest level, but Kforce is a generalist incumbent without construction-vertical specialization or offshore delivery model.

Emerging players

• Upwork: Global freelance marketplace connecting businesses with independent contractors across many disciplines including CAD, drafting, and engineering. Partial overlap with TSARSI's estimating/drafting services via gig-economy alternatives, but Upwork's marketplace model lacks TSARSI's dedicated full-time staffing and vertical specialization.
