Roofing companies depend on their estimators to provide leadership for small and large-scale projects with accuracy.
They gather blueprints, proposals, specifications and other related documents along with reviewing historical data from previous reports to assess unit and labor calculations.
Estimators compute costs by analyzing material, labor and time requirements. They also attend any necessary pre-bidding meetings and review proposals to determine the scope of work.
This team of professionals also tracks and manages awarded contracts, prepares reports by collecting, analyzing and summarizing trends and other information.
The estimator manages and maintains all working documents and a database to support estimate figures. They also design, produce and finalize Roof CAD plans and drawings.
Estimators conduct surveys and meet with clients to assess their needs, collect data, take photographs and take measurements. They also contribute to a team effort to assess rates to use in estimates and to provide technical support and guidance to others.
Cotney’s roofing estimating training will give you a strong and comprehensive knowledge base of estimating techniques so you can walk away with the ability to estimate a variety of projects and contracts under tight deadlines.
