Great presentation once again. In my days as a student, I would have found so much value in this channel and I do even now. I hope those still studying or have an interest in being Quantity Surveyors appreciate the great work you are doing.

I appreciated your effort to explain resource-oriented contractor's estimate vs. unit-based consultant's pricing approach. Looking back for the last 30 years, most of the innovations for estimating technology was really focused on quantity measurement, e.g. on-screen takeoff, bluebeam, Revit 3D model etc. But when it comes to pricing, while the math wasn't difficult, the calculation depends so much on the estimator's experience, judgment and effort to obtain the latest and the greatest prices. So correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Excel spreadsheet will still be used by every company (big or small) for quite some time, at least to price out the job.
