This class is designed for beginners, homeowners and anyone planning a construction or renovation project who wants to better understand how to estimate costs, prepare a realistic budget and avoid unexpected expenses. You'll learn the fundamentals of construction cost estimating, including how to break down a project into individual elements, estimate material and labour costs, understand contractor quotations and identify costs that are often overlooked. We'll also cover how to account for project risks, unforeseen costs, contingency allowances and potential budget overruns, helping you make more informed financial decisions before starting a project. **Lessons are practical, flexible and tailored to your needs.** You can choose a specific topic you'd like to learn about or focus on a building or renovation project you're planning. Whether you're renovating a bathroom, extending your home or planning a larger construction project, we'll explore the key costs, risks and budgeting considerations relevant to your situation. No previous construction or estimating experience is required. The goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to understand construction costs, plan a realistic budget and recognise potential financial risks before committing to a project.

Civil construction engineer and Doctor of applied sciences from the University of Liège, Lecturer in an engineering school, 65 years old, guides future students of architecture, civil/industrial engineers, construction graduates in understanding and using basic concepts of the calculation of constructions Level: Bac + 1, Bac + 2, Bac + 3, Master 1 and 2 Location/Mode of operation: The course is given only via the internet (I carried out comparative tests to choose the best formula). I use a graphic tablet and everything I write, draw, illustrate is seen in real time on the screen and is provided to you at the end of the course in a PDF. materials: Static mechanics, graphic statics, MRV diagrams (Moment, normal force, shear force), resistance of materials (steel, reinforced concrete, mixed steel-concrete), dimensioning and stability of constructions according to Eurocodes (beams, trusses, slabs, columns, foundations) My objective : Make you understand the matter by developing your physical sense. When? Schedule to be agreed as needed.

AutoCAD is a computer-aided design software developed by the company Autodesk (hence the name AutoCAD). It allows you to draw and edit digital 2D and 3D designs more quickly and easily than you could by hand. The files can also be easily saved and stored in the cloud, so they are accessed anywhere at any time. We will learn together how to deal with simple and then more complex plans, sections, facade drawings of buildings, and landscape design. You will be ready for the architecture, construction and engineering market by becoming a pro!

Hello, I am Siddhant, B.Tech (Civil Engineering) with a Gold Medal (Rank 1) from Jamia Millia Islamia University. Each year in civil engineering I have earned scholarships and I was selected to present my thesis that was related to "Structure Stability" at University of Erfurt, Germany. Also, I hold Masters in Building Engineering and Management (First Class with Distinction) (Rank 4) from School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi (An Institute of National Importance). Further, I am a professional accredited by PMI as I hold PMP certification in which I secured "Above Target" in all process groups. I have an experience of working in Structural Consultancy and on live construction projects thereby having a total work experience of 4 years which gave me an opportunity to apply my concepts in real world. I also give independent consultant services related to construction industry. Further, I have published technical papers which were presented in International Journals on topics related to Self Compacting Concrete and Soft Storeys. My particular areas of interest are as follows: 1. Construction Project Management 2. Construction economics and finance 3. Primavera P6 4. Microsoft Project (MSP) 5. Construction Project Estimation 6. Project Management Professional (PMP No. 2766608) (Above Target) Uptill now, I have helped students, across the globe from USA to Australia of about 12 countries and is increasing day by day. With my extensive knowledge and experience I have a strong hold on the concept and I believe in building the same in my students through my teaching methodology.

Thinking about a new project and you don't know hot to get started? Do you have an idea of a development but you're not quite sure how to get it through? Let's find a solution together! I am an architecture grad with award winning skills in architecture design and urban planing. I can help with counseling on various fields indispensable to a complete architecture project: - urban study -> how to analyze and understand you surroundings - social context -> let's make it work for everyone, we don't want to be a pain for the community now, don't we? - historical context and references -> if you wish to make progress, you have to know your past. Curious about what historians and academics have to say? - concept work -> what is the meaning of life? of you project that is - structural design -> just enough to make it stand, even during mother nature's worst - choosing the materials -> wood, brick, stone, metal, concrete, so, many options.... - drawing and detailing -> not enough if it's all in your head, eh? builders have to read it and so do your friends and teachers - visualizations -> 3D renderings for a jaw dropping effect Think you need some of these? Check the course up! Let's design our cities better !! :)
