Estimator
Project estimators are the individuals or teams responsible for reviewing cost data, specifications, drawings and other relevant information, to determine a project’s overall cost. They produce detailed cost information which empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions about project feasibility, budgeting and resource allocation, contributing to overall financial profitability. RIB Software has a number of products specifically designed to produce accurate estimations throughout the project lifecycle.
