Measurement, Tendering and Estimating BTEC

The Programme

This unit will provide learners with a basic understanding of the processes and techniques commonly involved in measuring, estimating and tendering for simple building projects of a residential nature.

Estimating is concerned with the processes used by contractors to establish the cost to themselves of carrying out construction work. Tendering is concerned with the commercial aspects of bidding for and obtaining work by contracting companies. Measurement and accurate estimation of the cost of work is crucial to providing meaningful cost information for both the construction business and the client.

Candidates will be able to obtain detailed quantities from drawings and other documents, estimate the cost of a variety of construction works, know how to convert the estimate into a tender, and to provide outline cost estimates of proposed construction projects.
