Delivering Defensible Estimates Through Detailed Cost Modeling on Complex Projects
Hear from Scott Brower, Project Controls Manager at HNTB, as he describes how he used InEight Estimate to create a highly detailed project estimate for a complex tunneling job—mapping every component of the work down to the nuts and bolts. By developing a comprehensive cost model with clear, reliable data, the HNTB team was able to deliver an estimate with a level of detail that stood apart from conventional approaches.
The result was a confident, defensible bid that the Engineer of Record ultimately adopted over traditional estimating methods. This example highlights how detailed estimating can make the difference on complex construction projects where accuracy, transparency, and confidence are critical.
