SUMMARY:Basic Estimating — 3-Day Course
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nThis three-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the estimating process for electrical construction projects. Participants will learn how to develop material takeoffs\, apply labor unit data\, and build accurate\, competitive estimates that reflect true project costs. \nThrough hands-on exercises and real-world examples\, the course emphasizes practical application to help participants improve accuracy\, avoid common estimating mistakes\, and better understand how estimates support overall project success. \nRegistration is $310 per person for NECA members. Education Funds may be applied. \n\nWhat You’ll Learn\nBy the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify common estimating mistakes and how to avoid them\nUnderstand the key components of a complete estimate\nDevelop material takeoffs and apply labor unit data\nEvaluate direct job costs\, overhead\, and profit\nBuild estimates that support both competitive bidding and project management\n\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis course is designed for individuals who are new to estimating or looking to strengthen their skills. \nRecommended for: Electricians\, project managers\, and other industry professionals with a working knowledge of electrical construction who are transitioning into estimating responsibilities or expanding their skill set. \nThis course may not be suitable for those without prior field or industry experience. \n\nCourse Details\n\nDates: July 20–22\, 2026\nTime: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily\nLocation: Oregon-Columbia Chapter\, NECA (601 NE Everett St\, Portland)\nFormat: In-person\, instructor-led training\nMaterials: Course materials and estimating resources included\n\nParticipants are required to complete a prerequisite online course prior to attending. Details will be provided in advance. \n\n🚨 Registration Details\n\nCost: $310 per person for NECA members\, $620 for non-NECA members\n\nEducation Funds may be applied\n\n\nCapacity: Limited to 25 participants\nRegister here: https://www.orecolneca.org/event/basic-estimating-3-day-course/
