In-Person Course

Advanced Estimated

& Project Management

Advanced estimating shows attendees how to utilize their project performance data to estimate more accurately and faster than the competition.  In the era of AI, speed and accuracy are everything, and restorers must avoid "garbage in, garbage out" by understanding how their current performance affects their future production.  We discuss and demonstrate how to calculate the labor production rate and square-footage pricing for all types of restoration projects, including residential, commercial, and large-loss. 

Utilizing the critical path plan, staying on schedule, and allocating resources efficiently. Through detailed discussions around damage assessment and expectation setting, you’ll better understand how to align stakeholders early and prevent downstream issues. The course covers invoicing processes and third-party audit triggers, helping you remain compliant and audit-ready. Strong customer communication strategies are woven throughout, helping you navigate conversations around cost, timeline, and change with professionalism and authority. Learn how to have the hard conversations first, how much it will cost, how long it will take, and what to expect during the recovery process.

Operational excellence is reinforced through training in managing scope changes, properly sizing and implementing equipment project documentation. The experience culminates in a live case study challenge and competition, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned in a dynamic, real-world scenario designed to sharpen your decision-making and problem-solving skills. The case study includes live visits to properties, and you will compete to win the case study challenge and take home the Astro award for Best in Class.
