Are you an electrical contractor who wants to take on more commercial work? Maybe you’re an electrical estimator who wants to create accurate and more profitable bids.
Brushing up on your electrical estimating training can help you win more jobs, with larger margins.
In this webinar series you’ll learn how to bid on larger and more complex jobs using real world examples.
Our trainer Brian Hoffelder will walk you through bidding on a real-life project: a 43,000 square foot municipal building in Birmingham Alabama. Our first webinar covers all the preparation, coordination and organizing you’ll need to do for a successful bid on a larger job.
You’ll learn how to download plans for the building you’re estimating, how to organize the drawings and correctly set up the bid so that you’re ready to do the takeoff and create the best possible estimate.
You’ll also learn how to budget time to do the takeoff so that you’re able to submit the bid by the deadline. What’s more, our instructor will also help you to create a bid that includes your labor and your profit. Remember to pay yourself!
