The Preconstruction Advantage: Estimating for Constructability on Complex Projects

Oct 27, 2026 | Webinar

Join us on October 27, 2026 | 2:00 pm ET

On a complex or first-of-a-kind project, the estimate has to answer two questions at once: Is the number right? And can the work be built as drawn, inside the budget, schedule, and safety limits of the job? Answering the second question takes time and confidence that most preconstruction teams struggle to find before bid day.

Brett Poulos, Director of Preconstruction at Burns & McDonnell, and Bryan Myers, VP of Preconstruction at Brasfield & Gorrie, join Dominic Cozzetto, Product Director at InEight, to share how their teams turn estimating accuracy into a competitive edge on some of the industry’s most complex projects. They will cover reusing what worked on past projects, benchmarking against real cost data, and building the confidence to explore a different construction approach before it goes into a bid.

Watch to learn:
 

  • How to price a scope your team hasn’t built before, and where those estimates tend to go wrong
  • How to reuse assemblies, cost data, and lessons learned from past jobs instead of rebuilding an estimate from scratch
  • How to benchmark a new construction approach against historical cost data before committing to it in a bid
  • What separates “buildable” from “buildable within budget, schedule, and safety limits,” and how precon teams make that call
