We will also focus on the preparation of work-place ready estimating documents.It is important that the student keep up with the class and not fall behind. Course modules will be made available to students on Sunday of each week. Class work must be completed before the following Monday. Students will not be able to work ahead of the class although reading assignments will be made available in advance and posted in the Critical Course Information.Estimating and Bidding 2 Online will run from September 14\, 2020 November 22\, 2020 and covers a foundation skill in construction. Participants should know how to read blueprints and have basic knowledge of estimating. Estimating and Bidding 1 is not a prerequisite of this class.This online estimating and bidding course is designed to provide you with hands-on estimating and quantity take off activities associated with Metals\, Wood\, Doors and Windows\, Finishes\, Electrical\, and Mechanical Estimating. We will also focus on the preparation of work-place ready estimating documents. By the end of this class you should be able estimate the conceptual cost of structural metals\, prepare a quantity take off and estate of rough carpentry\, prepare a quantity take off of roofing and waterproofing\, use unit prices to price doors and windows\, prepare a quantity take off and estate various finishes\, prepare a quantity take off and conceptual estimate of mechanical systems\, and prepare a quantity take off and conceptual estate of electrical systems.
