Major cost overruns on any construction project are frequently due to poor forecasting of the costs and inherent risks in a contract at tender stage. And this in turn means that poor estimating can impact the economic feasibility of any proposed construction project.

That is why estimating is considered to be one of the most important of all of the practical aspects of construction management. There are many , sometimes complex issues to consider when estimating the cost of a construction project and there are a number of key elements that come into play with each of these issues which can dramatically shape the entire estimating equation

Over-estimating may result in your client quite literally getting the shock of their life when it actually comes to the tender process and in extreme cases the project actually being abandoned. On the flipside underestimating may have dire consequences for you as the Estimator.

So this training course offers the A-Z of construction estimating and will give all Course Participants a thorough grounding in the principles and best practices of construction estimating in terms of real-life construction projects

Using proven case studies, all the procedures that are involved in the compiling a viable estimate for construction projects are covered in detail, and you will leave this training course understanding how to prepare an accurate estimate for typical construction projects.
