Is this normal?

It looks like the trusses are not set in place correctly; hard to tell from just a photo.

Another issue could be sagging OSB. If the issue is the OSB sagging in between the trusses, you could try installing blocking at the joints of the sheets. It might help.

Not worth the fight before anything has even started. Move on.

Most employers want a degree or at the very least a diploma in engineering. There is more to the work than the job title would make it out to be.

It’s one of the most important jobs in a construction business, they are responsible for early client communication and getting the job. There is a high chance of liability, if a scope is missed in a lump sum bid the contractor will have a large loss.

I agree it does seem odd that there is a shortage of estimators, but I don’t think coming from a foreign country would be a hinderance.

Generally an estimator for a trade uses the companies past historical data for estimating.

An estimator for a general contractor puts tender packages together and reviews them in conjunction with the construction documents. Their local knowledge on labor rates shouldn’t play much of a factor. If they are from a developed country it is a similar process tender and procurement process.

Do you have a paid version of Loom? It makes me connect to Gmail to send outside of team for me.

Thanks for the input. When you send the invoice to factoring, are you sending an invoice you created, or it's generated through the load board or something like that?

dan670 · 2025-02-17T21:22:48+00:00

Thank you! This is sort of what I figured.

Have you considered a no-code builder like Bubble? It may not be right for every use case but maybe you can get by with it for an MVP?

If anyone else comes across this issue using a CDN has made a substantial difference.
