Cost escalation of materials, equipment, and labour is leading to significant fluctuations in pricing. This, coupled with the current labour shortage and growing concern about the quality of design drawings, means Estimators are taking on more work than they can handle. It has never been more important to be proactive and work together to protect the accuracy of bids.

That’s why Advancing MEP Estimating 2023 gathered over 100 Estimating and Preconstruction leaders from North America’s most forward-thinking MEP firms to benchmark best practices and lessons learned for delivering comprehensive estimates for their firms.

Across 3 days of workshops, presentations and panel discussions, industry experts adapted estimating methodologies and technologies to overcome challenges in design and rethink estimating in the face of increased workload, cost escalation and supply chain disruptions.
