Costing, Estimation and Procurement Course

Practical Project Cost Control, BOQ & Supply Chain Training

Accurate costing, estimation, and procurement are critical to the success of engineering projects. Errors in estimation or poor procurement decisions directly lead to cost overruns, delays, and contractual disputes. Across EPC, infrastructure, oil & gas, power, manufacturing, and industrial projects, companies require professionals who understand project costs, BOQs, vendor management, and procurement processes in a practical, job-ready manner.

This Costing, Estimation and Procurement Course is designed to provide end-to-end practical knowledge of project cost estimation, budgeting, tendering, and procurement, enabling participants to perform effectively in project controls, contracts, and procurement roles.

Why This Course Is Required

Industry Gap Faced by Job Seekers

Many graduates and professionals:

  • Learn costing only as theory

  • Cannot prepare accurate BOQs or estimates

  • Lack understanding of procurement workflows

  • Are unfamiliar with vendor evaluation and tendering

  • Struggle in interviews due to lack of practical exposure

At the same time:

  • Projects demand strict cost control

  • Procurement delays impact schedules and cash flow

  • Trained cost and procurement professionals are in high demand

This course bridges the gap between academic knowledge and real project practices.
