Estimating, or approximating, has been used in construction for thousands of years. It is the process of establishing a value or worth, on a defined project or item, which is usable for a specific purpose even if the input data may be incomplete or undefined. The information provided is usable because it is calculated from the best information accessible to the estimator at that time.
This blog has been established as a location where estimators and construction professionals can gather and ask questions, become informed, and help advance each other to become better Construction Managers, Estimators, Engineers, and Architects through great discussion.
Any construction related topic is encouraged but the primary focus of this blog is estimating. I have recently been introduced to the software D4COSTS and will discuss the advantages or disadvantages of this software, in the esimating world, over my next few posts. Please feel free to jump right in!!
Any comments following MC Squared, Sage, Revit, OST vs Planswift or any BIM software usage are strongly encouraged.
