Do you wish you knew how to really estimate instead of "guesstimate?"
Contractors who know and use standard estimating procedures have a far greater chance of remaining in business than contractors who do not.
In just six, eight-hour classes, you will learn how to approach the task of preparing accurate bids. This will enable your company to submit competitive, low bids and still provide for your required profit and expenses to be covered. During this course you will participate in classroom review of a wide variety of blueprints for both residential and light commercial projects. This course also covers aspects of bidding including:
- Calculating Business Overhead
- Figuring Accurate Takeoffs from Prints
- Learning to Track and Figure Costs & Percentages
- Determining Labor & Material Costs from Prints
- Learning to Read and Understand Lines and Symbols on a Blue Print
- Different Sections of Prints for Residential & Light Commercial Projects

This course is beneficial to all contractors in all trades that estimate their own jobs, employees who do bids for their employers and professional estimators who prepare bids for other contractors who then perform the work.
