How to Mentor Younger Estimators
Summary
A mathematically-minded cadet might end up in the estimating department, where they would interpret drawings and get prices, often whilst studying several evenings a week. The potential for human error in calculations was vast, and any estimating software was extremely limited. Mentoring younger estimators isn’t simply a case of telling them stories about all the tenders you’ve won or projects you’ve seen built. For a young estimator, observing and soaking up all the different dynamics of a project, the ebb and flow of a job, is a terrific opportunity to build memory and hone instincts about construction. Listen, ask questions that lead them along the path of critical thinking, and help them translate what they’ve seen back into the resources and schedules of the next estimate they prepare.
