02 — HOW I THINK
Principles, not just software

How I think as an estimator

The tools change from project to project. These principles don't.

  • I verify quantities rather than relying on a single measurement.
  • I document assumptions and clarify uncertainties through RFIs.
  • I maintain organized workbooks so estimates can be audited and updated.
  • I prioritize transparency so clients understand how costs are developed.
