Information technology and automation have converted construction project estimating from an arcane and sometimes mysterious art to an art-and-science process that can be standardized (individually, for each company) and reliably repeated. That's a game-changer that leads to more winning bids, better project management, enhanced cash flow and overall improvements in management visibility and control. But not all construction companies have gotten the memo; too many still rely on outdated estimating tools and processes that leave them unable to scale their businesses, and vulnerable to more technologically empowered competitors.
Join ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR and Viewpoint Construction Software on Oct. 20, 2016, for "Technology Empowered Estimating," a one-hour-long webinar that will investigate the benefits of a good estimating software suite.
