 Construction Estimation Course Overview

Owner Building Solutions Australia offer three additional or extension courses for those Owner Builders who wish to gain a greater knowledge and organisational skills relevant to managing and coordinating a small domestic construction project.

The units of competency are taken directly from the General Construction Training Package BCG03 and are tailored to meet the requirements of the Owner Builder.

This unit specifies the competency required to carry out measurements and perform simple calculations to determine task and material requirements for a job in a General Construction work environment.

A Statement of Attainment will be issued upon successful completion of this unit and can be credited towards Certificate II in General Construction.

Remember, greater knowledge means a more efficient project and greater potential to save your hard earned cash.
