Principales reseñas sobre CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATING AND COST CONTROL
por AO20 de ene. de 2017
The main issue that I had was the wrong quizzes. I believe course coordinators need to review and revise some questions on the course. Specially week 2 was full of wrong questions.
por RR2 de abr. de 2020
The course is great, super informative but too many materials, excel, BIM and powerpoint appears blurry on the screen which decrease what we can take from the course.
por EM19 de mar. de 2020
Excellent course but need to improve the videos about building an estimate or make available downloadable content because it is difficult to watch the things that are explained on those videos.
