Learn How To Estimate

Hello there I'm a commercial subcontractor i want to start bidding on bigger jobs I was wondering if anyone took online classes to learn to estimate thanks

If you are a subcontractor now, don't you already know how to bid jobs? Don't you submit an estimate for the general contractor?

Or, are you a sub-contractor, by the hour? Or, does the General tell you how much he will pay and you do the job for that amount?

Man, I'd have to think estimating for drywall work would not be too difficult. As long as you have the experience under your belt and do a detailed inspection/discussion about the work that needs done, it should be a piece of cake. Experience in the field (IMO) trumps any "classes" you may be able to take.

Maybe hook up with someone who has that experience, pay them for some knowledge?

I found that accounting 102 was helpful. Buy any book for accounting 102... also I don't know a lot about drywall but in my experience, we provide building plans for our drywall material supplier, they provide a quote and how many boards it'll take. When it comes to the labor I'd suggest bidding on a price per board count ie. $20 x 400 bds.
