Course description

Quantity estimation and takeoff are essential skills for anyone working in civil engineering and construction. This course is designed to help you learn practical quantity estimation and takeoff using Bluebeam Revu, and then organize your quantities properly in Excel for real project use.

The course is suitable for beginners, fresh graduates, and professionals who want a clear and structured workflow without unnecessary complexity. You will start by learning the Bluebeam Revu interface and correct project setup, including scaling, which is critical for accurate results.

You will then move step by step through all major takeoff tools such as length, area, volume, count, and dynamic fill. These tools are applied on real drawings to perform quantity takeoff for foundations, columns, grade beams, slabs, stairs, brickwork, plaster, and tiles.

To strengthen learning, practice questions are included in the course. These allow you to apply what you have learned, test your understanding, and build confidence in performing takeoff independently.

After completing takeoff in Bluebeam, the course guides you on how to export quantities to Excel and prepare clean worksheets using custom columns and formulas. This helps you organize data professionally and prepares you for estimation, BOQs, or further analysis.

The focus of this course is on correct workflow, clarity, and real-world application, following the same approach used by quantity surveyors and estimation engineers in professional practice.
