ASPE Chapter 4

NEWSLETTER

September 2026


Better late than never...

Somewhere between bid deadlines, budget updates, scope reviews, and "just one last revision," the month of August completely got away from us. Apparently, so did the newsletter.


As estimators, summer isn't always filled with beach days and vacations. It's often packed with addenda, late-night takeoffs, and enough Excel spreadsheets to block out the sun. While we've all been busy helping get projects across the finish line, hopefully you found at least a little time to enjoy the season.



Although Chapter 4 went a little quiet on the newsletter front, we definitely stayed busy. Here's a look back at the great events, networking, and fun we've had over the last couple of months!


Thanks for joining us!


Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Changemakers Mastermind event!


A special thank you to Kait Endres-Guennie for leading an engaging discussion on the communication gaps, missed details, and assumptions that can lead to costly change orders, claims, schedule impacts, and lost profit. Through collaborative problem-solving and cross-disciplinary discussion, attendees gained valuable insight into how different project stakeholders identify and manage risk.


We're also grateful to ASPE President Emeritus Paul Chang for preparing an outstanding paella dinner and helping make the evening both productive and memorable.


Thank you to our Friar Sponsor: Nielsen Construction

A big thank you to Nielsen Construction California, Inc., our Corporate Friar Sponsor, for helping make our ASPE Padres Night on July 7th a great success!


We enjoyed an evening of networking and baseball at Petco Park, topped off by a Padres win! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it a memorable event. Who's ready to do it again next year? ⚾
