We also include all the forms you need, along with a number of checklists. These forms and checklists will become your basic tools for all your estimates long after you&#8217;re finished with the class.<\/p>\n<p>You will see each estimate compiled by hand (pen and paper) and using the <a title=\"Fast Track Estimating\" href=\"https:\/\/www.markupandprofit.com\/more\/product\/estimating\/fast-track-estimating-software\/\">Fast Track Estimating<\/a> software (not included).
