LOS ANGELES REGIONAL CONTRACTOR DEVELOPMENT AND BONDING PROGRAM
DEOD Events
Principles of Bidding & Estimating
The process of bidding and estimating are essential elements of the
construction industry for several reasons. Accurate estimation helps to control
costs throughout the project lifecycle and the right estimation ensures that
the project is completed within the budget and timeline agreed upon with
the client. Bidding allows contractors to compete for projects, and accurate
estimates give them a competitive advantage in winning contracts by
presenting competitive and realistic pricing.
Delivery models
Types of bidding & estimating software
How to set up an estimate
This free workshop on Zoom will show you how to navigate the challenging
bidding and estimating process and will address the following topics:
How to determine your cost
Insurance and bonds needed
Pricing
