Chapter Education Programs

This program will help estimators to think differently about the estimating process. Estimators will learn not to look at the estimate as a number, but more as a process from job inception to job completion. Topics to be covered include: customer types, the pre-bid qualification process, what foreman and superintendents say about the best estimators, contracts, various project options, how to protect your company’s interest, internal communication, job kick-off meetings, scheduling and general conditions, traps and snares and opportunities. Attendees will also participate in a case study.

(Note: Chapters can combine the Advanced Sheet Metal Estimating program with the SMACNA Reference Manual for Labor Units to make an interesting application into how to use the new reference manual for labor units).
