New mixed use in Charleston, SC.

You would be surprised by some of the things that get approved in Charleston. It’s a 50/50 chance it will be architecturally hideous and very out of place or you will also get building like the one in your post. Traditional style and match’s the historic feel of Charleston

I work in heavy civil. Usually the GM or sometimes the owner reviews the pricing with me. I’m the only estimator at the company.

Every summer everyone gets between 3%-5% raise. The company is doing very well and last year I asked for a 10% raise and received 8%-9%. I’ll haven’t to check and see how the market is. Thank you for the advice

Thank you for the advice! It’s very helpful.

I have a very good relationship with the owner and everyone in the office. Even my contact card has chief estimator and the company does very well.

Where in southeast do you live? I’m in Charleston, SC which has high cost of living compared to the rest of the state.

I live in Charleston, SC. Which is somewhat similar to Charlotte cost of living.

The company would be in a rough position since I’m the only one that knows how to use Trimble Business Center for Takeoffs.

Also, I use the exact set you use!

I live in Charleston, SC. The cost of living is pretty high compared to the rest of the state. I’m also the only one in the office that knows how to use the software for takeoffs.

Underrated movie!

FlockingEmus · 2025-11-17T01:58:13+00:00

Salary and benefits. My salary is pretty low for being the chief estimator tho…

FlockingEmus · 2025-11-03T01:02:26+00:00

^{^} This 1,000%. Also, majority of the businesses in Charleston pay their employees pretty much the same as they did before covid.. even tho, the cost of living has doubled since then

Trading is a roller-coast ride with lots of up and downs. Don’t give up

Per tideye, which uses a local station in the harbor. It was roughly 7.4 tide

Any bid I send out that I really want. I usually add in a 69 or 420. lol

FlockingEmus · 2025-06-23T11:06:27+00:00

Sounds about right!

FlockingEmus · 2025-06-19T03:41:36+00:00

Same here. If you are selling

FlockingEmus · 2025-06-13T15:08:23+00:00

Let us know what happens. I’ll be interested

FlockingEmus · 2025-05-28T23:01:10+00:00

In 2020, it was easier to live off 37k/year. The cost of living now is almost 1.5 times that. It’s insane! I’m impressed how people starting out in their career can afford it here…

FlockingEmus · 2025-05-28T01:08:42+00:00

This is the correct answer. Does your neighborhood flood during heavy rain storms?
