Introduction to Cost Estimating outlines the basics where this 8-hour school gives you the tools and experience to generate accurate and detailed estimates quickly. This program challenges students to compute markup based on their own financials. Students will utilize the Watershape Advisor Estimator Software (valued at $1,100!), specifically developed by David Peterson for the watershaping industry, to elevate their cost analysis and client presentation while reducing exposure to certain liabililties. Students will use the database in-class to develop an estimate of a basic pool and spa so that they are proficient using the Estimator software for their own business whether it is for concrete, fiberglass, vinyl pools, outdoor living structures, or subcontractor. No personal financial data will be shared with the class.
