Podcasts about Estimator

Register your interest for the Strategy Summit Event at the Churchill War Rooms on June 26th here - https://c-link.com/C-Link-Churchill-War-Rooms-Event---------------------Today, Paul's guest is Mike Ashcroft, Estimator, Co-Founder of EstimateOne, and now Merger Partner at C-Link.This episode is a conversation years in the making — one driven by too many busted Excel sheets, missing elevations, and the gap between Estimators and QSs. Mike and I talk through how two different companies, built on opposite sides of the world, came together with a shared vision: connecting pre- and post-award teams on one integrated platform.We discuss:What Estimating and Quantity Surveying looks like in Australia (yes, they really do things differently down there).Why so many UK QSs are heading to Aus — and what both countries can learn from each other.The real handover issues between Estimators and QSs — and where the friction lies.The story of how EstimateOne and C-Link met, merged, and are building the future of procurement.Why our shared goal is simple: to help construction teams win better work and deliver it more profitably.You'll also hear war stories about coffee machines that cost £40k more than expected, pricing off verbal quotes, and why sales skills are underestimated in construction.This episode is a must-listen for anyone working in estimating, QSing, or commercial management — and especially for those frustrated with how disconnected the tendering and delivery phases of construction can be.

You're still optimizing for Google? That's cute… Marcus Sheridan, author of They Ask, You Answer, joins us for a high-energy episode, he joins host Stephanie Postles to break down why the playbook most B2B marketers are still running is dangerously outdated. They dive deep into the collapse of traditional SEO, the rise of AI-generated answers, and why brands that aren't building trust through video, transparency, and self-service tools are already falling behind. Marcus shares tactical examples from the likes of Liquid Death, Shasta Pools, and his own viral pool pricing content that generated $35M+ in sales. He also drops a bold prediction: your YouTube channel will soon matter more than your website. Whether you're a CMO tired of playing it safe or a marketer trying to sell bold ideas up the chain, this episode is your permission slip to think (and market) differently. Key Moments: 00:00: Is Google Dead?

A Carbon Efficiency Estimator which measures the total amount of carbon a furniture piece uses in its lifecycle has launched to market. Set to accelerate sustainability in the furniture and fixtures industry, the tool is a global first and has been created by Design Conformity, a certification company setting the standard in furniture sustainability with independent Circular Design Certification. The new Carbon Efficiency Estimator allows designers, estimators, and procurement managers to quickly measure the carbon footprint of a design, with 90-95% accuracy, enabling them to create furniture and fixtures with lower carbon impacts. Furniture Carbon Efficiency Estimator Taking less than five minutes to take a measurement, the estimator's accessibility and ease of use will expedite designers furniture and fixtures sustainability goals, on the journey to carbon reduction and net zero. The estimator considers material, weight, sourcing, production location and electrical efficiency comparisons, as well as carbon efficiency benchmarking to the top 50 Design Conformity-approved products by category. Five years in the making, using data from over 1,000 evaluations from over 70 global brands, the estimator has so far enabled furniture manufacturers to reduce their carbon footprint by 39%*. Across all industries consumers are increasingly seeking sustainable products, and by 2030, medium and large businesses (250+ employees and 36m+ turnover) will have to report the carbon emissions of bought-in goods, including furniture and fixtures. Design Conformity's Carbon Efficiency Estimator allows the designers and manufacturers to better calculate how sustainable their furniture is and produce self-declaration estimates for their customers. It also benchmarks their products against industry averages of carbon efficiency. Once the estimator has been used and the furniture design has been finalised, Design Conformity then offer a third party, independently verified Circular Design Certificate for accurate carbon reporting, giving the furniture its own unique Carbon Efficiency Rating. Design Conformity is the first independent quality and sustainability design standard for the furniture and fixtures industry. Manufacturer members receive access to a wide range of knowledge and resources to help them to design and manufacturer more sustainable products, reducing the carbon impact of their companies for their customers. Adam Hamilton-Fletcher, founder of Design Conformity, said: We created the Carbon Efficiency Estimator and dc Certification due to the lack of industry sustainability standards and the need for circular design and carbon reporting. Our ambition is to become the global standard in circular design certification. "By using this tool and using our certification process, manufacturers not only reduce their carbon footprint, but also adhere to quality standards (UKCA and CE) and commit to sustainable, circular design practice (ISO and GHG) for their customers. "The team and I are really excited that after many years of development, this unique tool is now available and has the capability to fast-track retailers' route to carbon reduction and net zero. "This is the first of three products that we are working on to deliver carbon reduction in furniture and fixtures by implementing Circular Resource Planning or CRP. This suite of products has never been seen before in the industry and will be essential for manufacturers wanting to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve the dc Certification." Design Conformity are working on the estimator and Circular Design Certification with over 40 global retail brands, as well as furniture manufacturers and some of Europe's largest interior specialists. Jim Murray, Vice President of Sustainability at ITAB, said: "ITAB became Design Conformity members because we believe in the value of circular design and see it as part of our long-term business strategy. By working with the Design Conformity team t...
