Counting and measuring are central to accurate estimating, but there's much more to it. Brian Seymour outlines the detail. In the world of competitive tendering, the profitability or otherwise of the project depends on the skill of the estimator, or the estimating team. Competitive tendering cannot be reduced to a 'price per point' process, in which everyone is aiming for a price that is a fabrication cultivated by developers looking for the cheapest option. As a teacher of electrotechnology estimating for many years, I was surprised to hear an ex-student remark that the estimating process hasn't changed in the past couple of decades. If you are a 'count and measure' clerk, that may be so. Whether you use a manual or electronic system, all the accessories have to be counted and all installation materials have to be measured. None of that is rocket science.
