A New Estimating Training Course From Broadford Surveying
Broadford Surveying is launching a new estimating training course designed to help estimators price work properly — not guess.
This course is straight-talking, professional, and practical, built around how tenders are actually priced. No theory for the sake of it. Just a repeatable approach to rates, scope, and software outputs that helps you tender with confidence.
"Because winning work is one thing — winning it with the right numbers is what protects your margin."
What the Training Will Cover
The training is built to help you create rates you can defend, apply, and repeat across real tenders.
Building first-principle rates
Understanding labour, plant, material and productivity
Using outputs to build rate libraries
Structuring rates correctly for real tenders
Templates for: Housing developments & Commercial schemes
Common estimating mistakes that cost money
Software & Tools Covered
Using Bluebeam for take-offs and measurements
Using Agtek for cut & fill
Translating take-off outputs into usable rates
Making software outputs commercially meaningful
This course is designed to help you understand the numbers behind the software — so your outputs translate into commercially usable rates.
Who It’s For
This course is designed for individuals and teams who want stronger fundamentals and a clearer estimating process.
Groundworks contractors pricing their own work
Junior and trainee estimators
Construction estimators wanting stronger fundamentals
Businesses training in-house estimating staff
Three Versions Available
There will be three versions of the product, depending on how much support you need — from rate build-ups only, to full measurement and implementation.
1) Price Library
A complete set of groundwork build-ups for rates, designed to give estimators a solid pricing foundation and reduce guesswork.
2) Price Library + Templates
Includes the rate library plus templates for housing and commercial sites, to speed up estimating and keep submissions clear and consistent.
3) Measure + Implement (Full Training)
Includes the price library and templates, plus training on how to measure and implement them properly using Bluebeam and Agtek.
