Routine Writing Course

In the Routine Writing Course you will learn how to create Routines that will make your estimating faster and easier.

Routines are expressions that allow the user to input Quantities relevant to the particular bid, and the Routine can generate Sections, Items and Resources. No longer is there a one to one relationship - you can work on one Routine and generate many Items. You can also run many Routines within the one Project.

Routines are ideal for repetitive types of work, where generally only the quantities change. There are three different levels of Routines - Project, Section and Item Routines.

The course covers:

How to create Project Routines

Project Routines work at the entire project level, and will create Sections, Items, and Resources.  These are created based on your answers to the questions which are asked in the Routine.
 
How to create Section Routines
 
Section Routines work within the Section to create Items and Resources.

 
How to create Item Routines
 
Item Routines work at the Item level and create Resources.
 
How to use commands in the Calculation fields within a Routine
 
This will allow you to speed up the writing of routines and lead to greater accuracy.
 
Learn many tips and tricks
 
Learn tips and tricks to further help you write powerful Routines.  You will wonder how you managed life without Routines in your estimating procedures. 
 

During this course you will work through an number of tutorials to help you gain the skills. You will then work on writing your own Routines with the support of the trainer.

Each participant receives a Routine Writing Course Manual.
