Engineering

Estimator

Turn a scope into a price and a duration the shop can keep. 100% on time starts at the bid, not at the truck.

The Work

• Price the module the shop will actually build: engineering, state review, fabrication, blast and paint, integration, test, and freight.
• Build a duration the bays can hit. A date that wins the job and misses the truck is a bad estimate.
• Use shop hours and real lead times, not a percentage tossed on material.
• Hand the project manager a scope, a price, and a schedule that match.
• Say when the job should not be taken.

You Have Done This

• You have estimated modular buildings, structural steel, or process skids.
• You know fabrication hours, not only a material takeoff.
• You have been accountable for an estimate after the job was won.
• You will not buy work with a duration the floor cannot keep.
