SUMMARY:Electrical Estimating Course 1 (Day 2)
DESCRIPTION:Gain the confidence to bid accurately and win profitable work with a proven\, systematic estimating system. \n\nAre you confident in your electrical estimating skills in today’s competitive market? One missed labour unit or a forgotten job expense can turn a winning bid into a losing project. \nThis two-part\, live online workshop gives you a time-tested\, step-by-step system that catches errors before they cost you\, so you bid with clarity and walk onto the job site with confidence. \nWhy this matters: With rising material costs and tight labour markets\, a single 5% miss on a large commercial job can wipe out a month’s overhead. You can’t afford to estimate by instinct. This course replaces guesswork with a structured\, verifiable process – from your first takeoff to your final profit margin. \n\nYou will learn how to: \n\n\nCourse 1\, Day 1 – Estimating Fundamentals (Sept 14):\nWalk through real drawings and physically count every receptacle\, lighting fixture\, and feeder for an office and a plant. You’ll paste your counts into structured takeoff forms – supplied by us – and catch quantity errors before they become budget killers. \n\n\nCourse 1\, Day 2 – Pricing & Labouring (Sept 15):\nApply standard labour units to your counts\, then adjust them for site conditions and non-productive time. You’ll calculate material pricing\, add job expenses\, and apply mark-up – so you see your true profit number emerge on paper. \n\n\nCourse 2\, Day 1 – Advanced Industrial Estimating (Oct 6):\nMove up to 600-amp distribution\, QMQB panelboards\, switchgear replacements\, bus duct\, and 5KV service entrances. You’ll draft a complete estimate for a motor control centre with power and control wiring – tackling the complexity that scares most competitors away. \n\n\nCourse 2\, Day 2 – Quoting\, Change Orders & Unit Pricing (Oct 7):\nBuild a full quotation example\, then practise handling change orders and extras mid-job. You’ll also calculate the true hourly cost of your vehicles and equipment\, so your charge-out rates actually cover your fleet – and you’ll create unit pricing templates that speed up future bids. \n\n\n\n👥 Ideal Audience:\nElectrical contractors\, journeyman electricians\, maintenance electricians\, those wishing to go into electrical contracting\, purchasing personnel\, engineers\, architects and technicians\, project managers\, and foremen. Course 1 is beginner-friendly; Course 2 builds on it directly and requires Course 1 as a prerequisite. \n📅 Date: \n\n\nCourse 1: September 14 & 15\, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 6:30 PM EDT \n\n\nCourse 2: October 6 & 7\, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 6:30 PM EDT\n(Course 1 is a mandatory prerequisite for Course 2.) \n\n\n🏠 Host: Suderman Estimating Systems Inc. \n💻 Where: Live virtual session (link provided upon registration) \n💰 Cost: \n\n\nCourse 1 only: $1\,090 + tax \n\n\nCourse 2 only: $1\,045 + tax \n\n\nBundle (both courses): *$1\,985 + tax** – *you save $150 \n\n\n🔗 Register here today: Visit https://www.sudermanestimating.com/course-dates and scroll down to “Open Online Course” to find the registration link. \n\nYour Guide: John F. Wiesel – With 45 years of experience in the electrical industry\, from journeyman and foreman to project manager\, estimator\, designer\, sales\, and vice-president of a major electrical mechanical firm\, John is a qualified international construction consultant with a broad knowledge base. He has taught this proven system to over 5\,500 contractors across Canada. \n\nNeed to Know: \n\n\nWhat to bring: A calculator\, notepad\, and laptop or tablet to follow along. All other materials – including the labour manual\, print materials\, highlighters\, and scale – will be shipped to you prior to the course start. \n\n\nQuestions? Contact Suderman Estimating directly at info@sudermanestimating.com or 1-877-275-7194.

SUMMARY:Electrical Estimating Course 1 (Day 2)
DESCRIPTION:Suderman Electrical Estimating Courses 1 & 2 are intense\, hands-on courses designed to introduce the basic principles of Electrical Estimating and its applications. \nCourse 1 is a two-day course designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in electrical estimating. It covers the essential concepts\, tools\, and techniques required to create accurate and competitive estimates. Through a combination of theoretical instruction and practical exercises\, participants will learn how to perform detailed takeoffs\, organize estimates\, and price materials and labour effectively. The course also explores the role of an estimator\, the importance of understanding drawings and specifications\, and the process of summarizing estimates to include markups\, profit\, and job expenses. \nAbout the Instructors: \nAt Suderman Estimating Systems Inc.\, electrical estimating courses are taught by a team of highly experienced professionals who bring decades of real-world expertise to the classroom. Their instructors are not just educators—they are seasoned electricians\, estimators\, and industry leaders who have worked in various roles within the electrical and construction industries. They understand the challenges of electrical estimating and provide practical\, hands-on training that goes beyond theory. \nBy the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand estimating fundamentals\, including:\n\nWhat is a Take-Off?\nWhat is an Estimate?\nRole of an Estimator\nSetting up to Estimate\nEstimating Tools and Forms\nMethods of Estimating\nReview of drawings and specifications\nOrganization of Estimate\nCounting\n\n\nPerform detailed takeoffs by:\n\nReviewing drawings and specifications\nOrganizing estimates\nMeasuring and counting materials\nUse of Forms\n\n\nHow to layout and estimate for:\n\n110-volt receptacle outlets for an office\nLighting fixtures and switches for an office\nLighting and outlets for a plant\nDistribution and feeders\n400-amp service entrance\n\n\nPrice\, labour\, and summarize\, including:\n\nApply labour units and extensions to calculate labour costs and adjust for non-productive labour\nSummarize estimates by incorporating material pricing\, labour costs\, job expenses\, markups\, and profit\nDevelop sales techniques and understand the process of job closing\n\n\n\n📅 WHEN: November 12 and 13\, 2025 | 🕘 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM \n📍 WHERE: Virtual \n💵 COST: Course 1 $1231.70 ($1090+taxes) per person\, for both Nov 12 and 13 sessions.
