Construction companies cannot exist without good construction estimating systems and processes. Every good construction project begins with a great construction estimate. And every great construction estimate is managed by a knowledgeable and professional construction estimator. Construction estimating processes are dependent on estimators being able to cost out projects and develop estimates for bids. Whether you are looking to start a construction company or you are looking for a new career construction estimating is a critical key to growth. Understanding how estimates are developed can help everyone involved in construction learn how they fit into the estimating process. Estimating is a critical part of any successful construction company. This goes for the small construction start-up to the mega-construction companies building downtown skyscrapers. Without a great estimate a project is hamstrung from the beginning. Estimates become a management tool for project managers to perform their projects. They use the estimates as a budget tool to help control costs associated with completing their projects. This video is a preview of a course on Construct-Ed. The instructor for this course is Chris Jurin, CEO of Construct-Ed. In this course you will learn: -What take-offs are. - What are the four most important calculations for construction estimators to learn. - What construction estimating is and what estimators are responsible for. Learn the basics of estimating to help you build your skills. Skilled estimators are in high demand in the construction industry.

The effort required to have a net profit is a constant struggle for all custom building and remodeling companies—new and established. This course will discuss what my company went through to find a new way of protecting our profit margin and ultimately increasing it without charging our clients more for services.
