Construction Estimating and Project Controls Fundamentals

Build an estimate you can defend, keep a schedule and a budget under control, and use AI to draft and check the paperwork without trusting numbers it makes up.

What you will learn

  • Quantity take-off and unit-rate build-up: labour, plant, materials and overheads, with worked examples checked by code
  • Schedules: activities, logic, critical path, baseline and progress updates
  • Cost control: budgets, commitments, earned value (CPI and SPI) and forecasts at completion
  • Change orders, variations and claims: what to record, when and how
  • Using AI to draft estimates, reports and letters, and how to catch invented quantities, dates and commitments before they leave your desk
  • Scenario questions written from real job tasks, an online final assessment and a certificate of completion

For: Site engineers, quantity surveyors, planners and junior project managers on building and infrastructure projects.
