Estimators have a very important job. Building Contractors use the work from building estimators to bid for a potential job opportunity. Without a good estimate, a bid could be too high and lose a potential project or bid too low and lose money after the work is completed.
Accurate measurements are crucial to Construction Estimators. They have the job of balancing company profit with the lowest bid. Not only do their measurements have to be accurate but the calculations they do with them must also be correct. Their different jobs can be so versatile that it’s hard to pin point exactly what features they’ll need. They prefer a sophisticated measuring wheel that is able to make their workload lighter.
The Keson 401E is ideal tool for construction estimators because it will perform advanced calculations. The Keson 401E electronic measuring can be used to automatically measure length and area. It also has an internal memory function to automatically add or subtract numbers. Moving the wheel forward adds to the measurement and moving the wheel backward subtracts.
The Keson 401E can measure and convert between feet and inches, feet and tenths, meters and continuous inches. It is durable and rugged, perfect for onsite use because of its water-resistant construction and the curved telescoping handle. The LCD counter features a 6 digit display with ½” high numbers. The auto shutdown mode and low battery detector ensure sufficient power to finish the job. Estimators use it for a variety of tasks including how much concrete, paint, pavement, and many other types of material are needed on a job site.
