Browning - Wisdom Series 2021: Brett Browning
Summary
Brett Browning was tapped on the shoulder for an estimating role 25 years ago and he’s never looked back. A skilled and proficient site and project engineer at the time, Brett had consistently healthy monthly cost reports, demonstrating a very capable understanding of budgeting and forecasting, so the shift to estimator was one for which he was well prepared. Particularly because civil estimators use first principles (as opposed to builders who use more standard rates), you’ll find that no two jobs are the same. Deadlines loom, but you need to work steadily and have thick skin when dealing with people in the industry who have egos. It’s not a specific project, it’s actually the perception that people have, that estimators use a library of rates and pull prices from that.
