Description:
Great Estimators know that to remain competitive, their companies must continually search for an edge: “How can we approach this project differently than our competition?” This interactive training workshop is presented in two engaging sessions.

Viewpoint 1 – The Estimating Principles Behind Every Bid
A panel of experienced construction estimators explores advanced elements of construction estimating. Participants will evaluate their own systems against current trends and models, with an emphasis on Bluebeam. Open forum discussions ensure diverse perspectives and actionable insights.

Learning Objectives:

• Cost/price analysis

• Pricing project constraints

• Building flexibility into estimating systems

• Determining optimum time to complete projects

• Escalation considerations

• Managing risk within estimates

• Identifying “danger zones” to avoid

Viewpoint 2 – How Technology Can Produce Faster, More Accurate Estimates
Discover how technology can replace highlighters, scales, and calculators to create clear, visual bid scopes. With an emphasis on Bluebeam Revu, learn to develop digital tools and workflows that ensure accurate, consistent markups across your team.

Learning Objectives:

• Working with PDF drawings

• Calibrating drawings

• Using and customizing measurement tools

• Displaying and exporting data
