Construction Estimation - the Process (10/18/17 - 12/13/17)
You've taken Introduction to Blueprint Reading for Commercial Applications. Now what? Construction Estimating - The Process is an 8-part series that is designed to apply and further develop your print reading and estimating skills. This series will help develop an accurate and competitive estimating process that can augment or be implemented at your company. What is learned in each weekly presentation should be used on the job in the ensuing week to augment or improve your company's process. You may not use the entire process, but the intent is to provide information that can be applied on the job to increase the number of estimates put out, the quality and accuracy of estimates, and to be more competitive throughout the entire process.
Construction Estimating - The Process is 20- hour 8-class series that meets from 1pm - 3:45pm on 8 consecutive Wednesdays:
