SUMMARY:Electrical Estimating Course 1 (Day 1)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Suderman Estimating Systems Inc. \nSuderman Electrical Estimating Course 1 is an intense\, hands-on two-day course designed to introduce the basic principles of electrical estimating and its real-world applications. Participants will gain a solid foundation in essential concepts\, tools\, and techniques required to create accurate and competitive estimates\, combining theoretical instruction with practical exercises to build confidence and capability in the estimator role.​ \nBy the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand estimating fundamentals\, including: What is a Take-Off\, What is an Estimate\, Role of an Estimator\, Setting up to Estimate\, Estimating Tools and Forms\, Methods of Estimating\, Review of drawings and specifications\, and Organization of Estimate (including counting methods).​\nPerform detailed takeoffs by reviewing drawings and specifications\, organizing estimates\, measuring and counting materials\, and using standard estimating forms effectively.​\nLayout and estimate for: 110-volt receptacle outlets for an office\, lighting fixtures and switches for an office\, lighting and outlets for a plant\, distribution and feeders\, and a 400-amp service entrance.​\nPrice\, labour\, and summarize by applying labour units and extensions (including allowances for non-productive labour)\, incorporating material pricing\, labour costs\, job expenses\, markups\, and profit\, and developing sales techniques to support effective job closing.​\n\n\n👥 Ideal Audience: New and developing electrical estimators\, project coordinators\, and electrical professionals who need a structured introduction to estimating principles and practice.​ \n📅 WHEN: April 14\, 2026 | 🕘 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). Course 2 $1163.90 ($1030 + taxes) per person (for both Dec 2 and 3 sessions). Register and pay for Courses 1 and 2 at the same time for $1970.00 – a savings of $150.00.​ \n\nAbout the Instructors: At Suderman Estimating Systems Inc.\, courses are led by highly experienced professionals who bring decades of real-world experience as electricians\, estimators\, and industry leaders across the electrical and construction sectors. They understand the practical challenges of electrical estimating and provide hands-on training that goes beyond theory to focus on real project conditions and contractor needs.​ \nCourse Format: This is a full two-day\, virtual instructor-led training that blends presentation\, demonstration\, and guided estimating exercises\, allowing you to immediately apply concepts to typical electrical projects.​ \nNeed to Know:\n✔ Payment: Online via provider registration or invoice (per organizational arrangements).\n✔ Cancellation: Contact the Suderman for details.\n♿ Accessibility | ❓Questions? Contact: Témoc Vega\, Learning & Development Coordinator – tvega@ecao.org.​ \nLimited spots – Act fast!\n🔗 Register here
