Class Description

Description

Reading construction documents and estimating costs go hand in hand, and this course teaches you how to do both with confidence. You'll analyze drawings and budgets together, using Bluebeam to connect what's on the plans to real project costs. Whether you're brand new or building on existing experience, you'll walk away with a practical foundation in construction documentation and cost management.

Rather than just reading blueprints, you'll work through plans, elevations, and sections to determine material quantities and overall project costs. By practicing document analysis and budgeting side by side, you'll develop the skills to plan projects accurately and make informed estimating decisions on real jobs.
