Let鈥檚 talk about the future of estimating. As we move into 2025, the tools, processes, and strategies for creating accurate bids are evolving rapidly. From AI-powered software to real-time collaboration tools, the landscape is shifting in ways that can help us work smarter, not harder.
Here鈥檚 what I believe will shape the future of estimating:
1锔忊儯 Automation & AI: Streamlining repetitive tasks and improving accuracy with machine learning tools.
2锔忊儯 Cloud Collaboration: Sharing estimates and project details in real-time with clients and team members.
3锔忊儯 Market Adaptability: Keeping up with fluctuating costs and supply chain challenges with dynamic pricing tools.
4锔忊儯 Data-Driven Insights: Leveraging historical data to predict trends and improve bid success rates.
5锔忊儯 AR & VR Technology: Visualizing projects and estimates in immersive ways for better client presentations.
But one thing will never change: the importance of building trust through accuracy and communication.
