An accurate cost estimate is the first of many key components of a successful construction project. Plan interpretation, labor and material costs, scheduling costs, and level of difficulty recognition are a fraction of the skills necessary to become a successful estimator.

Why join the American Society of Professional Estimators?

ASPE is the most recognized and credentialed group of construction cost professionals in our nation’s construction industry. ASPE provides education, industry information, and fellowship to all levels of our members. It is made up of professionals of several different classifications.

Estimator—shall have at least five years’ experience as an estimator in one or more of the construction estimating disciplines.

Constructor—shall be an active construction professional experienced in one or more of the construction disciplines with at least 5 years experience.

Associate Member—is a Member with less than 5 years of experience as an estimator or an active construction professional.

When the Member achieves 5 years of experience, the Member shall be given one of the Member classifications listed above. One of the ultimate goals of a member in ASPE is to achieve status as a “Certified Professional Estimator,” otherwise known as “CPE.” CPE status is recognized by Builders, Government Agencies, Developers, and many other Corporate entities as the highest level of qualification as an estimator. Educational training is available to become part of this elite group of professionals. ASPE San Diego Chapter 4 is perennially recognized as one of the top chapters of the nation’s 50 chapters. The local chapter meets on the third Tuesday of each month.

This general membership meeting offers education and insight into our industry. Each membership meeting is highlighted by presentations and guest speakers, with information pertinent to our ever-changing industry.
