I took the Construction Cost Estimation and Control course at Stanmore School of Business to brush up on my skills and learn some new tricks. The course was pretty solid, with some really useful lessons on cost estimation methods and techniques. I liked that the instructor provided plenty of examples and scenarios to work through, which helped to drive home the key concepts. The course materials were also pretty good, although I did find some of the readings to be a bit dry at times. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on risk management - it was super helpful to learn about different strategies for identifying and mitigating risks on construction projects. Overall, I'd say the course was worth taking, although it wasn't perfect. I'd recommend it to others who are looking to improve their skills in construction cost estimation and control.
