ESTIMATING FOR CONSTRUCTABILITY: 3 FOUNDATIONAL PRACTICES
Learn to differentiate and win with innovative constructability
With construction spending estimated to reach $22 trillion by 2040, up from $13 trillion in 2024[1], the race is on for construction organizations to differentiate themselves and win more projects.
No matter the project, estimators work hard to deliver bids that let them respond with total confidence when someone inevitably asks: “Where’d you get that number?” But when competition is tight—and especially when it’s a first-of-a-kind or very complex project—accuracy alone is not enough. Innovative approaches to constructability helps win work by setting a bid apart from others, making a project significantly more affordable for a client, or even making the difference between achievable and out of reach.
That’s why organizations that deliver – or aspire to deliver – projects that push the envelope on constructability need modern estimating solutions and practices that empower their teams to bring innovating approaches to the table.

That’s why organizations that deliver – or aspire to deliver – projects that push the envelope on constructability need modern estimating solutions and practices that empower their teams to bring innovating approaches to the table.
Exceptional estimating practices alone can’t solve every complex construction puzzle, but they can deliver the added time and confidence needed to unleash an estimating team’s problem-solving capabilities.
This e-book explores three foundational practices that free up the necessary time and headspace to support innovative estimating:
1. Build hyper-accurate estimates
2. Start from success
3. Build estimating data you can rely on
