If you love working with numbers as much as you enjoy meeting and negotiating with people and suppliers, the role of estimator could be perfect for you
Estimators draw up assessments of how much it will cost to provide clients, or potential clients, with products or services.
It’s the estimator’s job to consider all pertinent information about each building project and decide how much it would cost to meet the client’s needs. They’d then need to bid for the work alongside competitors. Quality is also considered alongside the price, so the winning bid isn’t always the cheapest one. Estimators not only need to submit budgetary costs and analysis, but they often submit a quality report too, which they may have helped to write.
Estimators are sometimes called construction estimators or cost engineers. They can be found in a variety of different firms depending upon their area of expertise or interest. As an estimator, you could be estimating for projects as varied as a school, road, bridge, shopping centre, residential area or sewage works. Estimators might be involved in small, one-off projects, or larger, long-term projects which may run over many years.
