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.
