SUMMARY:Basic Estimating Class
DESCRIPTION:This three-day course focuses on understanding the cost components of electrical estimating\, instilling industry best practices\, all while developing a sound estimating process. Topics are presented in a lecture format followed by hand-on estimating exercises to reinforce the principles learned. Through the hands-on exercises participants will be expected to perform a takeoff\, develop a material list\, lookup and apply labor units using the NECA Manual of Labor Units\, summarize the costs of the estimate\, and apply overhead and profit to the estimate. Each lesson builds upon the previous one\, with all the learning coming together through a simulated bid opening on the final day. \nThrough completion of this course participants will be able to: \n\nDefine estimating terminology\nRecognize and identify electrical symbols\nIdentify potential estimating errors and correct them\nUnderstand the costs associated with electrical construction\nPrepare an estimate for a commercial electrical project including identifying the scope of work\, organizing a material takeoff\, applying labor units\, summarizing costs and calculating a bid price for the project.\n\nIf you are interested in having an employee attend the Basic Estimating class\, please fill out the attached registration form below and send back to the chapter by the January 30th deadline. We are limiting the number of attendees per contractor based off man-hours from the previous year. After the deadline\, the class will be opened on a first-come-first-serve basis. \nBasic Estimating Registration – 2026
