Basic principles of estimating will be covered, including measurement of work and construction pricing, in the context of various contractual relationships. Students will prepare bidding documents and apply traditional takeoff practices for tendering through the bid depository system. An estimating takeoff and tendering project will be produced from a small commercial building design.
