Accurately forecasting the cost of future projects is vital to the survival of any business. Cost estimators develop the cost information that business owners and managers need to make a bid for a contract or to decide whether a proposed new product will be profitable. AGC offers a wide range of products, seminars and training programs for the estimating professional.

2010 AGC–ASPE Advanced Estimating Academy

The 2010 Advanced Estimating Academy presented by AGC of America and the American Society of Professional Estimators was held on October 26–27, 2010, in Arlington, Va. During this two–day program, estimators learned the required skills to take their careers to next level.

Topics included problem solving and decision making, planning, meeting management, delegation, communications, managing your time, and skills to empower the next generation of leaders. In addition, participants reviewed advanced take–off methods and 3–demensional modeling.
