The Art of Construction Estimating
Skilled estimators seem to have disappeared from the industry. But there is one big problem: Skilled estimators are still very much needed in industry.
Estimators are among the highest paid professionals in the industry, from £22k for a trainee up to £85k for a seasoned professional, as of the time of writing in 2023. This reflects their level of responsibility, scarcity and value to the market. This is as much or more than a quantity surveyor who has probably spent years studying at university.
Estimating is one of, if not the, most important jobs in the construction industry, and estimators are in very high demand. If you train as an estimator today, within a year you could be earning good money and find it very easy to find secure employment.
