As project estimator, you will need to assemble information about various conditions affecting the construction of the project. This enables you to prepare a detailed and accurate estimate. Drawings should be detailed and complete. Specifications should be exact and leave no doubt as to their intent. Information should be available about local material, such as quarries, gravel pits, spoil areas, types of soil, haul roads and distances, foundation conditions, the weather expected during construction, and the time allotted for completion. You should know the number and types of construction equipment available for use. Consider all other items and conditions that might affect the production or the progress of construction.
