How do you become an estimator?

To become an estimator, individuals typically need a high school diploma or equivalent, followed by relevant experience in construction, engineering, or a related field. Many estimators pursue postsecondary education such as a certificate or degree in construction management, engineering, or a related discipline, and develop skills in using estimating software and understanding project plans. Certification from professional organizations can also enhance job prospects and credibility.
