DCMG 203 Construction Surveying and Estimating
Students explore the important role of surveying and cost estimating in the construction industry. They learn the value of geotechnical surveys in the predevelopment phase and as-builts in post-construction, and use optical and electronic instruments in a lab setting. Students use cost-estimating software and study the concepts, procedures, and terminology in construction cost estimating, quantity take-offs of building materials, and labor and resource calculations to understand the impact cost estimation has on real-world projects.
