Estimating is the subject that I love the most in this semester. I've learned how to estimate the total cost of a project by summing up all the costs of concrete, formworks, labor costs, rebars, openings, excavations, finishes and so on. We were actually tested by our lecturer to be a real contractor to price a single house bungalow and bid with other contractors (classmates). Me and my group mates tried our best as a team to win the project by coming out the lowest bid. Although we are the lowest bid among all the other competitors, but we lose the project because we weren't convincing enough to convince our client (lecturer) to choose us as her contractor. Overall, I still love this subject because I think it's challenging enough and looking forward to have this opportunity to bid again soon.
