SUMMARY:Bluebeam Construction Estimating Principles and Application 4/14 [VIRTUAL]
DESCRIPTION:Bluebeam Construction Estimating Principles and Application (Virtual)\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026  |  1:00PM – 5:00PM\nGreat Estimators know that to be competitive and competent in the current market\, their companies must continually be in search of an edge. “How can we approach this project differently than our competition?” \nTrack 1 – The Estimating Principles Behind Every Bid:\nThis open forum discussion led by a panel of experienced construction estimators explores advanced elements of construction estimating. Experienced estimators will be challenged to evaluate their own systems within the framework of current trends and models with an emphasis on Bluebeam. Every topic will be discussed from various perspectives to allow Estimators from across the spectrum to benefit. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nCost/Price analysis\nPricing project constraints\nHow to build flexibility into your system\nOptimum time to complete\nEscalation\nManaging risk within the estimate\nDanger zones to avoid\n\nTrack 2 – How Technology Can Produce Faster\, More Accurate Estimates:\nOftentimes simply being more visual in your bid scope can put you ahead of the competition by showing you truly understand the project. Each day we’ll spend some time demonstrating how technology can not only replace your highlighters\, scales\, and calculator\, but fluid company standards for you and your team. With an emphasis on Bluebeam Revu\, these digital tools and workflows will produce clear\, visual markups that are accurate\, predictable\, and consistent no matter who on the team uses them. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nWorking with PDF drawings\nCalibrating drawings\nMeasurement tools\nCustom measurement tools\nDisplaying and exporting data\n\nInstructor: Troy DeGroot\, Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, UChapter2 | Owner\nAs a Bluebeam Certified Consultant\, Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, and Implementation Specialist\, Troy travels the country training over 2\,000 students annually with customized tools and workflows. It is these extensive and diverse training opportunities that have led to Troy being a requested annual presenter at AIA meetings\, Bluebeam Academy and Bluebeam’s very own eXtreme Conference (XCON). \nWith over 20 years in the industry\, Troy has cultivated a deep understanding of the requirements of customers\, the needs of end users\, common goals of management\, and the capacities of the technology. He has led many companies through successful software implementations and training. Having served as the BIM Manager for a large multi-discipline engineering firm\, he provides a broad understanding of the industry and the evolution of technology. \nSCHEDULE\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026\n1:00PM – 5:00PM \nPRICING\n$385 ABC Member\n$539 Non-Member \nVisit our Bluebeam page for more information on the entire program. \nCOURSE CONTACT\nMeredith Strahan
