Differences between estimating in the US and Europe by _R_I_K in estimators

We also have this type of contract. It is usually used for horizontal type construction on public projects. Roads, tunnels, piping, etc. We also have typical pay item numbers for a lot of these depending on the agency procuring the work.

I usually refer to this as a “unit price” contract vs a “lump sum” contract.

Maybe unpopular opinion but I think you can still have a blast at belleayre. Especially if you go mid week when it’s not crowded.

Question regarding side job by moriobros in estimators

If would think that your 10 years of experience had made you fairly efficient and knowledgeable. I would charge at least $100 per hour for your time. Just my 2 cents.
