    • The Life Cycle of Estimating

    With the technology available to the industry, it is possible to price work utilizing data instead of estimating software with the "hope" that it contains the correct information to help land the job AND not lose profit. During this session, we ·will discuss the life cycle of estimating and the critical path of information that must be shared through the get work, do work, and keep score functions to allow for this critical information to be gathered, extracted, and utilized.

    What You Will Learn

    • Define bid selection criteria - not all opportunities are good ones
    • Discuss the utilization of data and data mining in the bid strategy
    • Outline the link of consistency required between estimating and work breakdown structure
    • Show the critical role of the estimator in the essential preconstruction planning process
    • List the lessons learned needed to close the information loop. This is the most valuable information that is so seldom shared

    Supply Chain Management

    Nearly 40% of every dollar that runs through an organization is materials. However, the industry needs to pay more attention to the supply chain because the risk is in the labor rather than the materials. This session will explore how to leverage your supply chain better to not only drive down material prices and costs associated with the "ing's" of finding, buying, invoicing, payment, shipping, handling, etc., but also how to drive improvements in labor productivity through more effective use of your supply chain.
