Description

As more and more owners step away from a traditional design/bid/build delivery method and look to utilize design/build, electrical contractors have an opportunity to provide value with an early knowledge of costs. This course will focus on the role of the estimator in a design/build project, how the NECA Manual of Labor Units can assist you in assembling the conceptual estimate and how to organize a conceptual estimate.
