WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Sales/estimating staff, management personnel, or anyone involved in reading blueprints. It is especially useful to those with some experience in reading blueprints. Probably not a good course for person with no blueprint experience.

COURSE OVERVIEW
This particular seminar is new to the Association this year. It is intended as a review or refresher for people with some experience in blueprint reading and lumber and material estimating. The seminar will lead participants through a typical blueprint format, scale and content, and then address more complex issues of residential estimating. In addition, you’ll examine the challenges of estimating for a competitive bid vs. a standard “estimate”. This course is unique because of the “real-world” skills of our presenter, Ray Schreiber. Ray is a lumber dealer by profession - and an engineer by education - and attacks common problems in blueprint reading from an experienced eye, often solving problems before they arise on the jobsite. His is widely-known for his advanced skills in estimating materials, and is respected by fellow engineers, architects, and contractors.

Ray will open with a “quick review” of blueprints, and then tackle YOUR specific problems, challenges, or common mistakes, creating a unique learning experience for all attendees.
