Why this Boot Camp is different

With the Well Built Estimating System, you’ll learn to see the whole game—aligning the number, pursuit strategy, client priorities, and win criteria. You’ll build trust that wins work and smooths handoffs, defend margin with clarity, and focus effort where you can truly win.

You’ll learn how to:

• Apply the 10 Estimating Commandments to separate cost from price and protect scope
• Read the construction landscape and tailor your approach for DBB, CMAR, Negotiated, and Design-Build
• Use Bluebeam workflows (batch linking/OCR, repeatable takeoffs) to cut misses and rework
• Build Excel that stands up in review (constants tabs, toggle-ready alternates, clean markup vs. margin math)
• Position proposals that are ethical and persuasive—mapping to client hot buttons
• Bid less, win more by concentrating effort where your value is rewarded
