I got an offer from an estimating company to do take offs no material or labor pricing and they’d pay me $100 per file.
Thats seams really low to me. I’m not sure how many pages that involves or how many jobs that would be.
He didn’t really answer my question or the amount of jobs just that right now there’s a lot
Anyone got so insight?
My biggest beef with the entire preconstruction process is we are just the messengers. We took your Architect's design and put it out to the subcontractor market and we're giving you the feedback.
The fact that your Architect designed a building that's substantially over your budget is NOT the General Contractor's fault.
I uses Earthworks by Trackware for the cut and fill calculations.Is there any better software than this? I looked up and I found kubla cubed is that any good because the one we use is really old and takes a lot of time.
I attended a conference and casually discussed tools of the trade. Matterport came up and I was the only one who wasn’t in the know.
After a few examples my peers shared, I’m highly considering buying and joining the club.
Question. Was I living in a dark cave and behind the times, or is this technology still newish to the estimating field and ramping up?
(I’m aware this technology was focused on real estate)
Good Day Folks.
Does anyone know if there's a separate forum/group for cabinetry estimators /estimation work?
Aloha All! I’ve been working hybrid from my old companies branch in Vegas doing HVAC(primarily sheetmetal) estimates. Unfortunately the company ended being shutdown due to being sued by us(employees), subs, and the unions for unpaid wages and benefits. Now I’m back working in the field as a Sheetmetal worker but I really want to get back to estimating from home if possible due to my wife giving birth recently. Anyone looking for an estimator?
14 years in HVAC - 10 years as a Sheetmetal worker and last 4 years as a PM/Estimator
