Description

Prerequisite: CBT 1100 with a minimum grade of C or instructor consent.
Structured as a lecture course in a traditional classroom setting. Students will use previously learned blueprint reading skills to figure material quantities for an assigned project. Concrete and reinforcement, framing material, exterior finish material, and interior finish material will be estimated and priced. Students will be provided with current material prices for all related pieces of a project. Unit quantities, unit costs, total quantities, total costs, and project subtotals will be figured for each estimated area. Students will utilize a standardized take-off sheet to organize their estimations. Upon completion of each estimated area, a final take-off sheet will be ready to propose to a material vendor.
