Construction Estimates 101: Introduction To Construction Estimating

Successful construction companies have great estimators. Construction companies cannot exist without good construction estimating systems and processes.

Every good construction project begins with a great construction estimate. And every great construction estimate is managed by a knowledgeable and professional construction estimator. Construction estimating processes are dependent on estimators being able to cost out projects and develop estimates for bids.

Whether you are looking to start a construction company or you are looking for a new career construction estimating is a critical key to growth. Understanding how estimates are developed can help everyone involved in construction learn how they fit into the estimating process.

Estimating is a critical part of any successful construction company. This goes for the small construction start-up to the mega-construction companies building downtown skyscrapers. Without a great estimate a project is hamstrung from the beginning. Estimates become a management tool for project managers to perform their projects. They use the estimates as a budget tool to help control costs associated with completing their projects.
