We spoke to Phil Bird, one of the original users of Expert Estimation…
Back in the late eighties, Phil started out as an estimator after being a Project Manager. Sitting next to Glen Townsley, he helped to beta test the software, finding typos as well as incorrect formulas, making it better with each iteration.
As Phil progressed in his career, he witnessed the growth of Expert Estimation throughout the industry. He was always happy to pass on his knowledge and teach others how to get the most out of the program. Thirty years later, Phil still works for a contract estimator, and Expert Estimation is his preferred software.
