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. Through completion of this course participants will be able to: \n• Define estimating terminology \n• Recognize and identify electrical symbols \n• Identify potential estimating errors and correct them \n• Understand the costs associated with electrical construction \n• Prepare 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.  \nBasic Estimating Class Sign-Up

SUMMARY:Advanced Estimating Class
DESCRIPTION:Building upon the principles taught in NECA’s Basic Estimating course\, this course focuses on the strategy and business decisions made during the estimating and bidding processes. The course will assist estimators and managers think strategically in how they find\, evaluate\, and bid electrical construction projects. Following this course\, participants will be able to: \n• Understand an estimator’s role and responsibilities throughout the bidding process \n• Define estimating terminology \n• Evaluate bidding opportunities for most desirable projects \n• Analyze factors have effects on cost and labor productivity \n• Evaluate the potential risk factors of a project \n• Discuss the risks and responsibilities identified in the project specifications\, labor agreements\, scope letters\, and standard contracts \n• Describe the difference between overhead and profit and how they are applied to estimates. \nTarget audience: Individuals with a firm grasp of basic estimating principles and experience preparing bids. \nPrerequisite: Basic Estimating of Electrical Construction or similar industry experience.  \nAdvanced Estimating Class Sign-Up

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Fault Managed Power with VoltServer
DESCRIPTION:Maryland NECA is excited to bring to you a “Lunch & Learn” hosted by VoltServer\, the pioneer of fault managed power systems. VoltServer has thousands of installations using this technology under existing electrical codes supporting applications in wireless communications\, intelligent buildings\, and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). But the question you might be asking yourself is… \nWhat is Class 4 Fault Managed Power? \nWhat does Fault Managed Power Do? \nIf you or any of your employees are interested in attending the “Lunch & Learn” hosted by VoltServer about fault managed power systems\, fill out the attached registration form and send back to the Chapter by the February 14th deadline.  \nFault Managed Power Sign-Up – 2025
