Join us on September 19, 2025, from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM EDT for an in-person Lunch & Learn hosted by Petticoat-Schmitt in Jacksonville, Florida. This session will feature Charles Tofferi of Petticoat-Schmitt, who will kick off our Construction Series with a deep dive into the fundamentals of estimating in land development.
Accurate estimating is the backbone of successful project planning and execution. This session will provide practical insights for developers, engineers, and land professionals looking to better understand the financial and logistical components of construction.
We’ll cover:
• The role of estimating in project feasibility and budgeting
• Key factors that influence cost projections in land development
• How to assess scope, materials, labor, and risk
• Tools and techniques used in modern estimating practices
• Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
By the end of the session, attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how strong estimating practices can improve project outcomes, reduce surprises, and support smarter decision-making.
