The Estimate Bank is an information resource created by a Construction Estimator for Construction Estimators, General Contractors, Sub Contractors, Architects, Engineers, Real Estate Developers and hundreds of other industries related to construction. This list is practically endless and The Estimate Bank endeavors to be a learning hub that brings together all of the trades and professions involved in the construction industry where we can share tools, experience and learn from each other. This site is currently under construction, so pardon our mess!
