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.
