SUMMARY:Construction Estimating Principles and Application
DESCRIPTION:Location: Live\, Online Virtual Course (The link will be provided after registration) \n\nDescription: \nThis half-day virtual training—crafted by the industry experts at UChapter2—is built for estimators who want to sharpen their approach and gain a competitive edge. The course encourages attendees to ask the critical question: “How can we approach this project differently than our competition?” \n**Viewpoint 1 – The Estimating Principles Behind Every Bid:** \nThis open-forum discussion\, led by a panel of experienced estimators\, explores advanced concepts and current industry models.
