SUMMARY:Estimate With Impact – Heavy Highway Civil Estimating
DESCRIPTION:4-Part Workshop is held Wednesdays and ThursdaysJuly 29\, 30; August 5\, 61 – 5 PM EDT  \n\n\n\n*Participation in this workshop is for one person per registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Workshop\n\n\n\nGet hands-on with the complete heavy highway civil estimating workflow in this four-part\, highly interactive Estimate with Impact – Heavy Highway Civil Estimating workshop. From interpreting DOT plan sets to running live bid simulations\, this workshop builds your confidence across core estimating tasks while sharpening your ability to structure\, analyze and communicate estimates. You’ll strengthen your foundation in preconstruction by practicing modern workflows that incorporate risk awareness\, defensible pricing\, and AI-assisted tools—all applied to key heavy civil project scopes like earthwork\, paving\, structures\, and utilities. \n\n\n\nEach session progresses your skills with a mix of guided instruction\, collaborative exercises\, and demonstrations. You’ll interpret plans and specs to extract and organize quantities\, build unit prices by assembling labor\, equipment\, and materials. You’ll walk away with sharpened technical skills\, a clearer risk lens\, and practical tools you can immediately apply on the job. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n. \n\n\n\n        Workshop Outcomes \n\n\n\n\nIdentify scope gaps\, key bid items\, and quantity drivers in heavy civil DOT plans\n\n\n\nBuild structured estimates using Excel and other technology tools\n\n\n\nUse AI prompts to run takeoffs and historical cost analysis\n\n\n\nSimulate a real bid day — defend and adjust numbers in teams\n\n\n\nCreate a personal action plan for real-world application\n\n\n\nRecognize risks and set appropriate contingencies\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend: Early-career civil estimators (0–3 years)\, project/field engineers transitioning into preconstruction\, and pros supporting DOT bids. \n\n\n\n**Participants will need to access Excel and Google Drive during this workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnology and ParticipationFor the classroom:– Please have Zoom downloaded.– Computer with dual monitor preferred.– Laptop is good with a separate tablet to access the materials. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor Participation:– Camera\, built in or added on and ready to stream to the classroom.– Headphones or earbuds with microphones are preferred.– Each student should be on their own computer/laptop/tablet.– If this is a software training\, please have the software downloaded and logged in. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellation Policy:  \n\n\n\nA full refund will be given to cancellations made 14 calendar days prior to the class kick-off. After such time\, no refunds will be given. Replacements are acceptable and must be submitted via email to meetings[@]agc.org. \n\n\n\nAGC reserves the right to cancel programs up to 10 days prior to the start date if a minimum number of attendees is not met. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Email us at education[@]agc.org \n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Your Facilitator:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel BeattyFounder and Owner\, Constructive Leadership Solutions \n\n\n\nDaniel Beatty knows construction from the ground up—and he knows that strong projects start with stronger people.  With over 35 years leading heavy civil construction teams as a project manager\, estimator\, and executive\, Daniel brings a rare blend of field-tested experience and fresh\, people-centered leadership strategies to today’s workforce challenges. \n\n\n\nAs founder of Constructive Leadership Solutions and a certified 5 Voices facilitator\, Daniel specializes in helping construction companies build cultures that attract\, retain\, and grow top talent. He’s the voice behind the “Culture Under Construction” newsletter on LinkedIn\, where he shares straight-talking\, practical advice on bridging generational gaps\, improving communication\, and making leadership real on the jobsite.

SUMMARY:Blueprint Reading Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:4-Part Workshop is Tuesdays August 4\, 11\, 18 and 252 – 5:30 PM EDT  \n\n\n\n*Click the button below to fill out a brief form and be notified when registration opens for Blueprint Reading Intermediate.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Workshop\n\n\n\nThis advanced\, application‑focused 4-part workshop is designed to build on the foundational knowledge gained in *Blueprint Reading Basics and strengthen your ability to work confidently with complex construction documents. \n\n\n\nThis Blueprint Reading Intermediate workshop is developed to guide students beyond basic plan navigation and into deeper interpretation\, coordination\, and practical use of construction drawings and specifications. Participants will gain hands‑on experience analyzing more complex drawing sets\, understanding how multiple disciplines interact\, and recognizing how documents are used throughout the construction process. Through guided instruction and real‑world examples\, students will learn to interpret detailed sections\, assemblies\, and system layouts; cross‑reference architectural\, structural\, and MEP drawings; and identify discrepancies or conflicts before they impact the field. Emphasis is placed on cross-referencing multiple disciplines\, understanding design intent\, sequencing\, constructability\, and how drawings\, specifications\, addenda\, RFIs\, and submittals work together during project execution. \n\n\n\n* If Blueprint Reading Basics (1) or A3CM Basic Blueprint Reading 100 Level with Stephen Nichols was not previously completed\, you will be required to complete a skill level check before enrollment in this workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n. \n\n\n\n        Workshop Outcomes \n\n\n\n\nBe able to interpret and analyze complex drawing details\, sections\, assemblies\, and multi‑sheet references within coordinated construction drawing sets.\n\n\n\nBe able to interpret and analyze complex drawing details\, sections\, assemblies\, and multi‑sheet references within coordinated construction drawing sets.\n\n\n\nBe able to identify inconsistencies\, omissions\, sequencing issues\, and potential constructability concerns prior to field installation.\n\n\n\nInterpret structural systems\, MEP systems\, and building assemblies\, and understand how they integrate to support overall design intent.\n\n\n\nApply schedules\, phasing plans\, revisions\, addenda\, and sequencing documents to solve real‑world construction coordination challenges.Who should take this course:This course is ideal for construction professionals who are ready to move beyond introductory blueprint reading and develop stronger analytical skills for field implementation and project coordination\, including field supervisors\, foremen\, estimators\, project engineers\, and subcontractors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnology and ParticipationFor the classroom:– Please have Zoom downloaded.– Computer with dual monitor preferred.– Laptop is good with a separate tablet to access the materials. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor Participation:– Camera\, built in or added on and ready to stream to the classroom.– Headphones or earbuds with microphones are preferred.– Each student should be on their own computer/laptop/tablet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellation Policy:  \n\n\n\nA full refund will be given to cancellations made 14 calendar days prior to the class kick-off.
