This four-class series is designed to provide a practical, high-level introduction to core construction management and estimating fundamentals. Each one-hour class offers a structured overview of essential concepts, workflows, and industry practices, giving students clarity on how construction projects are estimated, documented, and managed.

Participants can expect a clear, step-by-step learning experience that covers estimating basics, construction drawings and specifications, estimating formatting, and high-level project oversight. The courses focus on understanding terminology, processes, roles, and documentation rather than deep technical execution, making them ideal for building a strong foundation.
