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. Participants will examine their own processes through the lens of modern estimating principles. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nCost/Price analysis\nPricing project constraints\nHow to build flexibility into your system\nOptimum time to complete\nEscalation\nManaging risk within the estimate\nDanger zones to avoid\n\n**Viewpoint 2 – How Technology Can Produce Faster\, More Accurate Estimates:** \nIn today’s visual-first world\, simply showing your understanding of a project can help win the work. This portion of the class demonstrates how digital tools—particularly Bluebeam Revu—can replace highlighters\, rulers\, and calculators with clear\, repeatable workflows. The result? Estimates that are consistent\, predictable\, and fast\, regardless of who’s doing the work. While Bluebeam Revu software may be referenced during the session\, this is not a pics and clicks tutorial\, it’s a deep dive into the mindset and methodology of successful estimating. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nWorking with PDF drawings\nCalibrating drawings\nMeasurement tools\nCustom measurement tools\nDisplaying and exporting data\n\n\nInstructors: \n \nTroy DeGroot\, Bluebeam Certified Instructor | Owner of UChapter2 \nTroy DeGroot is a globally recognized Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, Consultant\, and Implementation Specialist\, known for delivering practical\, workflow-based training courses that empower construction professionals to get results.
