Estimators work with contractors, engineers, and clients and may work within a specific market segment, such as manufacturing, civil, residential or commercial construction. Some estimators also work with building equipment manufacturers, as well as directly with building owners and architects.
When it comes to calculating project costs, there is no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” solution.
The scale, building materials, skilled labour, architectural features, building functions, and project deadlines all influence the construction progress.
