The RSMeans Construction Estimating Training Program at Imperial Corporate Training Institute provides participants with advanced skills in the area of estimating construction costs utilizing RSMeans data. The goal of the program is to improve the ability of participants to prepare accurate cost estimates for future projects based on the following three categories: developing accurate estimation processes for residential construction projects, developing accurate estimation processes for commercial construction projects, & developing accurate estimation processes for infrastructure construction projects.
Through comprehensive instruction regarding RSMeans, students will learn how to accurately interpret RSMeans Cost Data, apply standardized methods of estimation, and benchmark their projects against RSMeans averages. As a result of this training, participants will be able to provide accurate & detailed cost estimates for all of their prospective construction projects, thus allowing them to improve their financial planning abilities, and thereby improve their decision-making skills as a construction manager.
