## Overview

Construction documents and cost estimates go hand in hand — and this course shows you how to handle both with confidence. Using Bluebeam, you'll analyze drawings and budgets together, learning to translate what's on the plans into real project costs.

Whether you're new to construction or sharpening existing skills, you'll leave with a practical foundation in documentation and cost management. You won't just read blueprints; instead, you'll work through plans, elevations, and sections to pull material quantities and total project costs. With document analysis and budgeting practiced side by side, you'll be ready to plan projects accurately and make confident estimating decisions in the field.

## What you'll learn
