TAKE A CLASS, in project management and cost estimating.. Even if you are not going to be the project manager it helps to know more about what he is doing and to know if he is not cheating you. Cost estimating is crucial don’t want to put in a bid and find out that you are not going to make any money out of the job. I work for a engineering firm that does mechanical and electrical plans for buildings. This industry is so shady. Owners don’t want to pay the architects/engineers-they don’t want to pay the contractors. Contractors don’t want to pay their subcontractors.
Last, RFI’s are the golden ticket to pick up extra cash. Find a way to use them and do plenty of them.
