    Preconstruction Expectations vs. Reality Oct 29, 2024
    Show notes

    Can you relate to these stories?

    In this special episode of Precon Geeks, Beck Technology Content Team intern, Iman had a few questions of some of our employees who are “recovering estimators,” as Lauren likes to put it.

    We discovered precon is so much more than counting things, amiright?

    You guys have to be insanely detailed, know how to talk to so many different types of people, you provide a customer experience, you fill in the gaps, your problem solvers extraordinaire, you manage risk (and huge ones at that… that cost millions of dollars), and you have to be curious.

    Precon and estimating is a rewarding career and we’re here to talk about.

    Listen in to hear about the realities of working in precon…. we bet you nod your head more than once.

    This week, the Precon Geeks are on a short break, so we are replaying an earlier episode about value engineering and bringing back the art of estimating.

    Value engineering is about how estimators can add value to owners and not just chopping things from the project to keep costs down.

    In this episode, John speaks the hard truth about how precon teams have traditionally isolated owners and how you can improve the relationship between precon, design, subs, and owners.

    This topic never gets old because it’s how you gain trust and win more repeat work.
