How to become a project estimator?

Most project estimators have a bachelor’s degree in a field such as construction management or building science. You can also gain experience in entry-level construction or manufacturing roles, which will help you learn skills you need to be successful in this career. While it is not required, The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) and The American Society of Professional Estimators (ASPE) both offer professional certifications. Some estimators also choose to pursue a master’s degree in a construction-related field.
