Student Learning Outcomes
This course will provide students with insight into the concepts and methodologies required for estimating residential construction projects. Students will become familiar with how materials (metals, concrete, masonry, wood, engineered wood products, plastics, thermal and waterproofing products), methods of installation, and quantity impact the calculation of estimates in a residential construction setting. The application of linear, square, and cubic measurements will be studied along with the various Minnesota Codes used in residential construction. Student Learning OutcomesEmploy industry terminology utilized within the estimating process.
Analyze differing types of construction methodologies utilized during residential construction.
