| 摘要： | We've come a long way, baby. As an industry, I suspect we're in the neighborhood of 100-plus years old, so we've seen a lot of changes. Just in our own time of writing estimates, swinging hammers and painting, the changes have been near constant and not without growing pains. To be sure, the foundation remains the same. But let s consider possibly the greatest catalyst for changes within our lifetime and professional journey: the computer. While hyperbolic as "The Dark Ages" may sound when applied to any timeline within our industry, I suspect most estimators and technicians today would be lost in an unfamiliar landscape of analog equipment and pencils. Granddad was a tool and die maker who required the use and knowledge of vernier calipers and micrometers, as well as a firm grasp of mathematics. Computer numerically controlled (CNC) lathes and mills were the stuff of science fiction to him. In the same vein, when Dad was a metal-man, he was working off handwritten estimates, using trammel gauges and tape measures. The laser was a Buck Rogers weapon, not a measuring device. |
