Day in the Life - Construction Estimator

Check out my average day of being an estimator in the construction management industry. I am a construction professional during the day and juggler during the night. If you want to see more of this content let me know in the comments below. Oh and thanks for the cool pen uncle Clifton.

Hi Cody! I'm inspired how you do a basic day of being an estimator! Keep up and show us more knowledge, we want to seek more from you! God Bless.

10 years of field experience, getting my degree now in Construction Management and really considering Estimating as a career path. I’m sick of being out in this cold all damn day, that office looks nice and warm! Good luck thanks for the insight

Hey Cody, nice job! Keep it up! Good luck with your work! I hope to be a cost estimator too. And eventually record my mini-vlog just like this one :) I subscribed by the way, wishing you to reach your goal of 1000 subscribers very

Fun video! I liked the juggling intermission :). I'm a software engineer working on a construction ai startup. I'm trying to learn about estimation. Cody, would you be open to a quick interview with me and my co-founders? We'd love to learn a bit more!

Please upload more videos, im New to the industry and im 25 from TX. Any tips or advice for someone with 0 experience?

Your work as an estimator looks complicated with all the numbers and figures you got to do with. Wow you really stepped up your game on this. Keep doing what you do man that awesome 😎

[cliftoncockroft]

I'm not ready for the master class but nice work. I'll have to get back to swinging that sledgehammer though ❤

Im a flatwork estimator for our concrete/asphalt company. Its a mix of field work and office work for me. Although since its a small company im constantly working with insurance companies as well, typing up proposals, cois/bonds, blah blah blah, and im the sales guy.

Very underpaid at only like $23 an hour but its my first year here, my first job, and I only had an associates. I was basically mentored into this position but im surpassing all my co-workers who are making triple of what I make because of my tech/it skills.

I think Im gonna milk knowledge out of this company as much as I can and try to estimate for another company for a bigger salary bump or even be an operations manager.

[SebastianGarcia-lplm]

Hey Cody. What exactly is the master format?

[aryasrk]

This was awesome! I am about to start my new job as an Estimator and I liked your POV on it.

Hey I’m civil engineer and I have 4 years experience in cost estimating of USA based projects and now I’m in Perth, Australia and I need a job as a estimation engineer so can you help me to hunt a job ?

[thomasswainson]

How do you find Bluebeam Revu? The more I learn about estimating, the more I understand there is no shortcut to the takeoff side of things.

How do you do takeoffs for new products you've not come across before and how would you quantify the materials required? For instance, I am an Industrial Cladder from the UK. There are literally thousands of different wall systems with all sorts of different fixing and supporting methods. How would you quote a complex wall cladding project?

Many thanks, Tom

Hey. do you do construction estimates any company? I am looking for someone that does estimates

[KitKat-hngd]

Construction students my dream job would be PM that travels to different city

[Barry-Sweaty]

What take-off software do you use? What estimating software do you use? What project management software? What accounting software? I am an estimator and I’m always asking what software people use.

[faruqiqbalalfajri]

I just graduated from college 3 months ago, and tomorrow is my first day working at a shipyard as an estimator, any suggestions on my first day of work tomorrow? Or any tips and tricks? Thx mate.

I'm now retired and spent 40 years working as a senior estimator for a major Contractor in the UK preparing bids for all types of building projects and all types of contractual arrangements (partnership, two stage, single stage. competitive, PFI) to a value of 200 million. Using the UK as a reference be prepared to work a 15 hour day, sometimes 6 days a week. And don't get frustrated when you get lumbered with changes to the tender documents, when the Client can't make up his mind on what he really wants. Another source of frustration is when you can't get a quote, or can but the quotes are non compliant and then you have to bottom out the quotes but the subcontractors can't be contacted. Then you have to guess their price. Then after the tender has been submitted the Client wants a 15% price reduction abd you get sucked in to find a solution which might go on for a year, or two years if you are pricing a new hospital. And you might have to price another couple of jobs at the same time. Coping with all of this will make you a master of your own destiny and able to identify and manage all the rubbish and nonsense coming your way and make you totally street wise.
