This is an interactive and intensive course taking place over eight sessions, aimed at personnel within M/WBE firms who possess beginner knowledge of blueprints and estimating. This class will prepare students to understand blueprint symbols and terminology; scales and measurements; architectural drawings; project scopes and specifications; and blueprint software and technology. Participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by analyzing blueprints and preparing their own estimates throughout this interactive course.
