Hot Topic – Estimating

Published by Ron under Operations

Our local ABC chapter was kind enough to let me put on a short seminar on estimating. The presentation went well. We obviously hit a nerve as verified by the feedback and the request for a more detailed workshop.

Estimating is a great topic as it forces several related topics to be discussed such as:

  • Overhead allocation
  • Job costing
  • Tracking labor productivity
  • Software
  • Pricing

If you don’t have a firm grip and complete mastery of those systems, your estimating is not going to be accurate. Sloppy or lazy estimating technique leads to blown bids and the landing of undesirable work. If you are not 100% sure you’ve got these things under control give us a call. We are experts at putting them in place.
