Unit Price Estimating Seminar - Las Vegas

Unit Price Estimating Seminar, October 22-23

A two-day RSMeans Seminar in Las Vegas, NV

Objectives:
This course teaches attendees how to think as contractors do by interpreting the design in terms of cost. Step-by-step instruction and practice problems provide skill and confidence in identifying and tracking the key cost drivers — material, labor, equipment, staging, and subcontracts — for each specific task on any project. Attendees are given the most detailed, time-tested methodology for accurately “pricing” each of these variables, their impact on each other and on total cost. As part of the process, they learn optimal use of RSMeans cost data. Upon completion, attendees will understand direct and indirect costs and have the basis for accurate job cost accounting and change order management.

Who should attend:
Corporate and government estimators and purchasers, architects, engineers, and others needing to produce accurate project estimates.
