This course is recommended for anyone new to a sales or estimating role. It will take you through the process of estimating: from the contract documents to the methods of calculating material quantities used in construction. Discover how to use “take off” methods from professional drawings to develop an accurate materials list. Understand the components and material you’ll need to create a typical estimate for decks, garages and bungalows. Practical exercises and more will give you the solid estimating foundation you need.

We encourage all Level 1 Estimating students to complete the online Terminology and Blueprint Reading courses to ensure they are confident reading blueprints and understanding the common terminology used in the Lumber and Building industry.
