INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING (online) Learn the basic
principles of construction estimating. Topics to be studied
include: organization of the estimate, types of
estimates, elements of an estimate, quantity take off
techniques, pricing techniques, adjusting the estimate for a
variety of variable factors, estimating labor, materials and
equipment, and profit and overhead markups. You will
learn about the different types of estimates and how to organize an
estimating document. This course will build a foundation of knowledge that
the student will use while estimating virtually any individual trade or
project type. More... |
