What construction estimation and pricing involves

Construction estimation and pricing is the work of turning construction drawings and specifications into realistic cost figures. Programmes in this field usually teach you to measure quantities, apply prices to materials and labour, and prepare bid documents. The work demands accuracy, a good head for figures, and a clear understanding of how buildings and roads are put together.
