Design-Build Electrical Estimating Online
Learn how to develop an electrical estimate when the design is incomplete — using scope development, system assumptions, conceptual quantities and real-world design-build estimating judgment.
Learn by Working Through a Real Estimate
Build a defensible design-build electrical estimate from incomplete design information and clearly defined estimating assumptions.
Built around electrical construction work.
- Work through realistic project information and estimating decisions
- Develop costs beyond material and labor alone
- Consider project conditions, risk and scope completeness
- Build toward a complete final selling price
- Use a structured online estimating workflow
One Course. One Clear Goal.
Build a defensible design-build electrical estimate from incomplete design information and clearly defined estimating assumptions.
What You'll Learn
Develop the estimating judgment needed for more demanding electrical construction work.
Develop the Scope
Translate owner requirements, narratives and incomplete documents into a defined electrical scope.
Build Assumptions
Establish clear design and pricing assumptions so the estimate has a defensible basis.
Conceptual Quantities
Develop realistic quantities when complete construction drawings are not yet available.
Size Major Systems
Think through distribution, feeders, branch systems and major equipment at the estimating stage.
Price the Unknowns
Carry allowances, quotations, labor and project costs while managing incomplete information.
Present the Estimate
Organize the estimate, qualifications and final price for design-build decision making.
For Estimators Working Before the Drawings Are Complete
Designed for estimators, project managers and electrical contractors who need to develop pricing from narratives, partial documents, owner requirements and design assumptions.
- Electrical estimators
- Senior-estimator candidates
- Electrical project managers
- Electrical contractors and preconstruction professionals
