Where can an estimator go next to advance his or her construction career?

Estimators are often limited by the function from reaching the profit center roles of other construction managers. The best way to achieve advancement is to obtain sales and project experience that can help broaden an estimator’s experience base. Some estimators choose preconstruction services to obtain more client and management interaction, others leave estimating altogether once they have reached the Chief or Vice President level, and move their construction careers into operations.
