Before performing a takeoff, an estimator needs to understand exactly what is being bid. In this lesson, you will learn how to review electrical specifications, drawings, addenda, bid instructions, and other important project documents before beginning the estimate. You will also prepare the estimating spreadsheet that will be used throughout the course, giving you an organized foundation for recording quantities, labor, material costs, and other information as the estimate develops.
