Having been estimating for the last 8 plus years, i find the culture varies so much company to company. The smaller companies want each estimator to do everything. But the larger companies always work in teams of 2 or more. The added help of additional team members helps a lot with the stress. Plus with bigger companies you aren't being evaluated on your results.
@nicknico4121 small company to learn but only if you are in start of your career. But big company if you want stability and want to have lower workload as the work is often done in teams.
great video very fun watching! but could you make a video that shows us newbies how to actually bid? im just getting started in this business and would really appreciate any information on estimating and how to better formulate spreadsheets
Thanks for sharing yr work. I used to be a QS manager as a developer company in my home country. I need to transfer my career to Canada. Can you give me some guidance to do ? Like, regulations, cost calculation, price depends, risks control.
We wont find out for awhile, because this job wasn't competing against other GC's. However, we still had to get our final number that day so the project executives could give it to the owner. (which they have a relationship with somehow) And maybe he will award us the job if he can pay for it.

So which environment is better, small or big company

How did you become a construction estimator?? I want to know the tea 🙏🏼🙏🏼🥹
Ah yes the head tilt! Classic! My dog does this too when I ask him if he wants to go for a walk.
Dude these videos are awesome.
As a glass and glazing estimator, I enjoyed your videos.
Today was bid day for me as well! Intense day lol
Next content, days working in the field/office in detail sir Thank you for responding to my words I appreciate it

8/10 is an acceptable take
Can you make a video going in depth into the spreadsheets you use and how you set them up?
I cant unfortunately because I did not make them and my company owns them, not me. Sorry.
I've learned heaps
when it's only the survey and calculations time, can you do that at home? Do companies allow you to work from home once in a while?
Yes, if I ask too. However, I like coming in to the office everyday if I can because I think it shows I am putting in a lot of effort.
Going to lunch on bid day? Good job counting toilet accessories and calling it a hard day LOL

Next time get it with extra grilled onions. 10/10. Is this job stressful and if so does the stress ever go away?
Good tip... Yes bid days are hectic, even more than what I could show in this video. But most days are not like this so its not bad. I enjoy it.
How do you end your job at 3 and take your dog for a walk at night?
Hello, Im Estimator here at Philippines, do you recommend me to work at your company?
