+I tend to think I have more to contribute to [[conest]] than to Bid.
+I need to know more about the executive philosophy of both
+before I could decide to switch or stay.
+
+> Moreover, what about estimating coordinators and "estimating solutions"?
+
+I know very little now,
+but it doesn't seem many are more certain.
+I think that's a problem,
+but at the very least I'd want it explained to me.
+
+Only yesterday I learned about the ConEst budget,[^1]
+and with that I feel my understanding has doubled.
+
+[^1]: According to [[christian-pereiro]]
+    the ConEst budget for [[the-huehub]] was ~$240,000.
+    At 5,976,038 sqft per BPM
+    that comes out to almost exactly $0.04 per sqft.
+
+If ConEst is budgeted per square foot
+then it should follow that ConEst effort
+should be proportional to building area,
+but this is not usually the case in practice.
+Since larger jobs tend to have more typical work,
+jobs of every size tend to take about two weeks.
+In order for ConEst to estimate as budgeted,
+we would need standards for acceptable takeoff
+at multiple levels of estimating detail.
