– Tolerance Reduction
Have
you ever noticed that construction estimators tend to tolerate
more than their fair share of chaos? Tolerance is generally thought
of as a good trait; however, tolerance can quickly lead to procrastination
followed by mediocrity.
The
unnecessary burden of working amid chaos can lead to expensive
estimating mistakes. Unfortunately, financial considerations often
lead to procrastination instead of moving forward and becoming
organized. Every estimator should be properly trained to become
organized for success.
Far
too many professional estimators never received adequate training;
most were simply told: “Try to do the job, and try not to ask
too many questions.” Eventually these same inadequately trained
estimators lead the next generation of estimators; thus the sad
cycle of mediocrity continues.
Since 1985, my
professional services increased profits for hundreds of wall and
ceiling contractors throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Today,
you can start using your takeoff & estimating resources
more effectively.
You
can bid faster… and more accurately.
I can show you
how… just show me that you are interested NOW.
