WRLA Academy Manual Estimating Level 1 – Best Western Premier Denham Inn & Suites (Leduc, AB)

Construction estimating creates sales opportunities for your business and detailed, accurate estimates are essential!

This course is recommended for anyone new to a sales or estimating role and we recommend taking our WRLA Academy Blueprint Reading course prior. It will take you through the process of estimating: from the contract documents to the methods of calculating material quantities used in construction.

What can I expect from this course?

You’ll learn how to use “take off” methods from professional drawings to develop an accurate materials list. You’ll learn all the terminology and components you need to make a typical estimate for decks, garages, bungalows, and a standard 2-storey home. Practical exercises and more will give you the solid estimating foundation you need.

We encourage all Level 1 Estimating students to complete the online Blueprint Reading Course to ensure they are confident reading blueprints.
