Effective Estimating

The Simple Difference Between Profit and Loss

You know the feeling.There’s the elation that you’ve just won a large contract.Then feedback comes in to show that your bid was significantly lower than the competition.What ensues is the sinking realization that you’ve forgotten something big, and on top of potentially missing something, fluctuating prices, such as steel or lumber, play havoc with the numbers.These estimating pitfalls can be the difference between a lucrative project and a cash drain that lasts for months or years.

The construction industry is littered with failed enterprises that didn’t take this critical function seriously.
