2-Day In-Person Estimating Training

Join John Kenney for a two-day live classroom deep dive into roofing estimating. Any successful roofing construction project relies on accurate and consistent cost estimates. This two-day course gives participants the skills and background to perform roofing estimating, bidding, and cost management. We will perform quantity takeoffs and prepare project estimates, including all direct and indirect costs, overhead, and profit for multiple types of commercial estimating, including low and steep applications.

Learning Goals:

• The process of preparing conceptual, preliminary, and detailed estimates.
• Perform quantity takeoffs and allocate units of work.
• Organize the collection of estimated data.
• Identify sources of cost data.
• Be familiar with the key labor, equipment, and material costs components.
• Determine crew size and productivity.
• Identify site conditions and factors that affect cost estimates.
• Allocate direct and indirect project costs.
• Identify and allocate contingency and escalation.
• Prepare project estimates, including all direct and indirect costs, overhead, and profit.
• Bidding estimate strategy.
• Validate the cost estimate.
• Develop schedules based on cost estimate data.
