    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.

      So which environment is better, small or big company

      @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.

    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?

    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?

    • @CodyCockroft
      @CodyCockroft  10 місяців тому

      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.

    Next time get it with extra grilled onions. 10/10. Is this job stressful and if so does the stress ever go away?

    • @CodyCockroft
      @CodyCockroft  Рік тому

      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.

    And... how did the bid go?

    • @CodyCockroft
      @CodyCockroft  Рік тому +1

      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.
