5 Tips for Safe Concrete Construction1
A professional QS / Estimator is different from a self-taught individual or somebody who was trained in-house but without qualifications. Such an individual might have a lot of essential experience, but he or she will lack in some technical knowledge, subjects and aspects of training that are acquired at a higher institution of learning. Most of the time, when a company is hiring, a qualified individual is preferred over an unqualified but experienced individual. This is due to the fact that the modern Estimator is required to have broad skills and competencies in various subjects related to Costing, Project Management, Design and Construction. Modern estimating is not a streamlined trade like carpentry or locksmith where your talent is a big factor. It is not just about taking off quantities from architectural drawings but it involves a lot more.
