RP Spotlight Webinar

RP 101R-19, Roles and Responsibilities of a Project Cost Estimator

The intent of this RP is to define the required roles and responsibilities of a project cost estimator. The RP also outlines the career progression of a cost estimator.Typically, most cost estimators begin as junior estimators with a limited focus depending upon the industry in which they are employed. For example, in construction, they may develop their skills around a specific trade or discipline of work (e.g., civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, etc.). As the estimator develops their skills, they progress to a senior estimator position and may be considered subject matter experts (SMEs) in multiple areas of estimating (e.g., multiple disciplines of work, quantity takeoff, pricing, bidding and analysis, change orders, life cycle analysis, value engineering, etc.). After mastering many areas within the estimating fields, the seasoned estimator may become the chief estimator of an estimating department or organization. Chief estimators may have company management duties such as: developing estimating standards and guidelines, training, and other management roles. Larry Dysert, CCP CEP DRMP FAACE Hon. Life John K. Hollmann, PE CCP CEP DRMP FAACE Hon. Life, Pete Bredehoeft, Jr. CEP FAACE, and Jeffrey Borowicz, CCP CEP PSP FAACE are the panelists and John Orr, PSP FAACE is the host.

This event is free, but registration is required. Attendees will receive 0.1 CEUs.
