About Andy Asbill

Hello LinkedIn Community, I’m Andrew Asbill, a cost estimation and analysis professional with a focus on delivering precision and value across aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. • Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in developing bottom-up costing methodologies, building estimation departments from the ground up, and implementing Should Cost platforms that drive cost-optimized solutions for both commercial and government proposals. • One of my key strengths is analyzing complex technical specifications and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure every estimate is accurate and actionable. • I’ve leveraged advanced tools like aPriori and Accubid to streamline processes, develop detailed Basis of Estimate (BOE) documentation, and maintain strong relationships with vendors and third parties. These efforts have consistently resulted in optimized procurement costs without compromising on quality. • For me, the art of estimation is about more than just numbers—it’s about understanding the intricacies of a project, aligning stakeholders, and delivering solutions that balance cost, quality, and efficiency. • Whether it’s supporting competitive proposals or driving strategic cost-saving initiatives, I take pride in helping organizations achieve their goals with confidence.
