From Formwork to Final Pour

Build Complete Cost Estimates for Concrete Structures

Concrete defines critical path, cost exposure, and contractor risk. This course delivers a rigorous methodology for pricing formwork, concrete placement, and reinforcing steel, built on real-world practices, crew logic, and scope-specific workflows. Learn to structure your estimates with precision, validate inputs against project conditions, and generate defensible pricing for one of the most complex trades in construction. Designed for professionals who need more than plug-in numbers, this is estimating with intent.
