**Construction Estimating Principles and Application (4 Hours)**
This half-day virtual training—crafted by the industry experts at UChapter2—is built for estimators who want to sharpen their approach and gain a competitive edge. The course encourages attendees to ask the critical question: “How can we approach this project differently than our competition?”
**Viewpoint 1 – The Estimating Principles Behind Every Bid:**
This open-forum discussion, led by a panel of experienced estimators, explores advanced concepts and current industry models. Participants will examine their own processes through the lens of modern estimating principles.

**Viewpoint 2 – How Technology Can Produce Faster, More Accurate Estimates:**
In today’s visual-first world, simply showing your understanding of a project can help win the work. This portion of the class demonstrates how digital tools—particularly Bluebeam Revu—can replace highlighters, rulers, and calculators with clear, repeatable workflows. The result? Estimates that are consistent, predictable, and fast, regardless of who’s doing the work. While Bluebeam Revu software may be referenced during the session, this is not a pics and clicks tutorial, it’s a deep dive into the mindset and methodology of successful estimating.
