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. This class is 100% online. Students should expect to spend 3-5 hours a week on course work from April 10 - June 18\, 2023.\nPREREQUISITES: To do well in this course you should already have the following skills:Know how to read blueprintsKnow how to use a spread sheet software such as Microsoft Excel\, Numbers (Mac)Have a basic knowledge of construction estimating subjects including:Basic math skillsEstimating terminology (quantity take off\, unit price\, production rate\, etc.)Use of the calculator and architectural scaleBe able to organize your work so it can be easily understood by othersLearning Objectives:Perform quantity take offs and conceptual estimating for structural and miscellaneous metalsPrepare quantity take offs and estimates for rough carpentry and framingPrepare quantity take offs and conceptual estimates for waterproofing and roofingPrepare a quantity take off and conceptual estimate of various finish tradesUtilize conceptual estimating methods to arrive at mechanical and plumbing budgetsUtilize conceptual estimating methods to arrive at electrical budgetsBy the end of this class you should be able to:Estimate the conceptual cost of structural metalsPrepare quantity take off and estimate of rough carpentryPrepare a quantity take off of roofing and waterproofingUse unit prices to price doors and windowsPrepare quantity take off and estimate various finishesPrepare a quantity take off and conceptual estimate of mechanical systemsPrepare a quantity take off and conceptual estimate of electrical systemsStudents will also need the following materials:A calculatorAn architectural scaleA couple of colored pencilsA spreadsheet program (Excel\, Numbers).
