This was a good course to see things from the Contractor's side rather than the subcontractor's side ( which is where I am)

This course so far has help me understand and correct my approach in doing estimating. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a good way to break down the scope. This methodology will be my way of doing estimating.

Several of the sections would cut off mid sentence at the very end of certain sections. No big deal but became annoying. Other than that it was a good course, easy to follow and the Australian accent was a bonus.

The course is interestingly covers step by step my introduction into estimating and management that I was introduced towards some two decades ago, and serves as a good recap for me. It highlights some issues that I could not comprehend or clearly understood at the time as my mentors focused on getting the job done but neglected important aspects like the role of WBS. So far the course is good.

This course is a great overview of preplanning and estimating. I find it easy to relate the scope of the content to my own niche construction business and it's approach to projects.

this course has helped me so far by throwing more light in the areas accurate project cost estimating, delivery methodology, and pricing model... which has been a little bit difficult for me to comprehend in the previous courses I have taken in the past on cost management...am very happy I am taking this course right now...
