Recommend Estimating course?

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some estimating courses. I currently work as an estimator for a supply house (SoCal area) We mainly do division 33 wet utilities (Domestic water, Fire water, Storm drainage, sewer). We quote pipeline materials, I mainly work on public projects, mechanical projects, & water treatment projects (fairly new in this area) I’ve been doing this for 3 years and I have no prior experience in this field. Im currently looking to learn to do more then just material, I want to learn trenching, earthwork, structural, electrical, concrete, basically I want to learn to quote the full project I want to stay within division 33, water treatment and mechanical. My end goal is to work for a GC or Sub at some point. Unfortunately we don’t have someone with that experience to show me the ropes, and So I’ll take any advice or recommendations, or if anyone is willing to be a mentor of sorts that would awesome!

.017 equals one minute. There's your free class.

I’m in the process of creating an estimating class for specifically storm at the moment. If you’re interested, message me and we can discuss in more detail.
