Are Construction Cost Estimators an Obstacle to Efficient Project Delivery and BIM? Even today, most construction cost estimators continue to rely exclusively upon spreadsheets, despite well documented issues with the practice. Good dedicated cost estimating software programs are successful for a reason.
