InSite SiteWork and Field General Training

InSite SiteWork Professional Estimator Training

  • January 11th -12th Baltimore, MD
  • February 8th – 9th  Las Vegas, NV

Who should attend? Estimators who wish to maximize the use of InSite SiteWork. After attending the class, students will be able to complete take-offs faster, with more accuracy and have a command of InSite’s advanced features.

Do I need a laptop? Yes. A laptop that meets InSite’s hardware requirements with a current copy of InSite SiteWork installed is required. A mouse, rather than a touch pad, is required for precision take-off. Using laptops and prepared examples, the techniques learned in the class are immediately applied, reinforcing the training.

Will we use digitizers? The focus of this class will be on PDF and CAD based take-off. There will be no digitizers used in class, although techniques learned in the class will be applicable to paper take-offs.

InSite TrainingWhat experience is required? At minimum, estimators who have completed the tutorial and completed a few take-offs. This is not a “Beginner” class.

What have past attendees said? "Extremely Helpful", "It taught me a very realistic and honest approach to take-off", "Excellent! I didn't know InSite was this powerful.", "A lot of information packed into two days.", "Reinforced what I learned in the tutorial, and taught me so much more."

What is the cost of the training? The two day training class is $1050 and includes morning and afternoon coffee and snacks and lunch.  If payment is made 21 days prior to the class, the class fee is $950 dollars.

What is the class schedule? On day one, the training facility will be open for software configuration and time-ins of loaned hardware keys at 7:45. Training officially starts 8:30.  Lunch will be served at 12:00 noon each day.

The use of CAD files, paper plans, profiles, cross sections, triangulation, sloping lines, offsets and the 3D views will be covered. A sample surface model with the use of these tools will be created. This class will also cover the use of the Road Profile Tool. With this tool you can combine a horizontal alignment with a vertical profile to create a precision road model.

Prerequisite: Must be proficient with InSite SiteWork CAD import and must complete the Field General tutorial. Laptop required.
