I’m now working in the DPR office in Morrisville, instead of EIG. At about 8:00 this morning, I met with Mark Dailey, an electrical estimator who works at DPR. Unfortunately, he had a lot of boring meetings, which meant that I also had a lot of boring meetings. After his meetings were done, he helped me set up On-Screen Takeoff, a software used to estimate the cost of construction projects. He showed me how to use the “count” tool to determine the number of several different types of electrical devices in the plans. Then, he took me to lunch at a nearby Mexican restaurant that he frequents. I worked on the electrical count for the rest of the day.
