Keeping the Big Picture in Focus. Estimating is both a science and an art, which involves both intrinsic and learned skills that are developed overtime. Estimating starts with good plans and the experience to read plans. Furthermore, the most important part of any estimate is an accurate takeoff. It is the foundation upon which the estimate is built. If the quantity takeoff is not accurate, it does not matter how good the rest of the estimate is, the bid will be bad. It is an Estimator’s responsibility to recognize these risks and opportunities and be able to realistically, coherently, and comprehensively evaluate them and put them on paper.
