Bob Mooty will instruct this course designed to assist the student in the fundamentals of estimating electrical construction. This course is for those of little or no experience in estimating, and those seasoned estimators looking to hone their skills. This course is a must for those who find themselves frustrated by the current bid market and continue to question their efforts in compiling a "competitive" bid. The principles taught will help eliminate careless mistakes, which can cost your company its very existence. Prerequisites would include an understanding of electrical construction and the application of electrical material. This seminar is led by Bob Mooty, NECA's Management Estimating Consultant responsible for teaching and coordinating estimating curriculum, data collection and presentation of NECA Manual of Labor Units. Bob holds a BBA degree in Industrial Management from Texas Tech University.

NECA has created a one-hour online course that is required for all Basic Estimating class participants. NECA's Manual of Labor Units has, for many years, been widely recognized as the electrical construction industry's leading source for labor unit data. It is essential for a person to understand the intent and application of this labor unit data to properly calculated the lavor required on a project. This online course, which is part of the basic estimating course, serves as an introduction to NECA's Manual of Labor Units. It contains helpful information about the origin of the lavor units, the proper application of the data and how one can use these labor units to competitively bid electrical construction projects. The purpose of this online course is two-fold. First, it will allow all students of a Basic Estimating class to have the same basic information prior to the classroom instruction. For that reason, it will also allow us to reduce the time in class from the previous 4 1/2 days to 4 days.

 

Topics covered in the class are labor factoring for job conditions, basics of material takeoff/expanded material takeoff, Manual of Labor Units introduction, labor units applied to material takeoffs, bid documents, organizing an estimate for control, and much more.
