Program Information
The Anoka Technical College Construction Estimating Technician is a 46-credit diploma program that consists of technical courses designed to develop skills relating to the field of construction cost estimating, quantity surveying and building materials. In addition to estimating skills, the student receives training in related areas such as plan reading, residential/commercial construction, specifications, construction scheduling and Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Revit software.
To further enhance students’ Construction Estimating skills, they will receive training in related areas, such as building codes and building mechanical and electrical systems, as well as emerging technologies in energy-efficient design. Students receive hands-on training in industry standard computer-aided drafting software (AutoCAD), building information modeling (BIM) technology, project coordination software like BluBeam, and insurance estimating software likeXactimate. Scanning to point cloud and 3D modeling from drone survey data will also be demonstrated.
