SBA 502: The Art & Science of BAS Estimating Part 2


Listen Later

Estimating in building automation is not just about pricing. It's about influencing how a project performs, how it's delivered, and whether it turns a profit. If you're involved in estimating, bidding, or scoping BAS work, this episode is built for you.

Michael Roper expands on the fundamentals from a previous episode and takes a deeper look at how to approach estimating with accuracy and control. The focus is on precision, awareness, and building estimates that hold up in the field.

In this episode, you'll explore:

  • How strategic thinking affects estimating outcomes
  • Where complexity hides in pricing and scope
  • Why certain risks get missed during takeoff
  • What separates accurate estimates from guesswork
  • Which tools and internal knowledge help improve margin control

If you’ve ever dealt with missed labor, vague specs, or post-award surprises, this episode helps you tighten up the process and build confidence in your numbers
