Does anyone have any good advice as to where to begin learning the estimating process. Ive been with a company for 15 years in the field and want to start my own business but have never had to do a take off and put a number to a job. Other than asking my boss to sit in on a few estimates to see the process is there any other place i should begin or any good training programs out there . Thanks!!

Welcome, glad to have you join us.
I am not an EC, so I do not know about estimating and such, but as a member here I will pass on the advice that many say the estimating is only part of it.
On running a business with budgets, insurance, taxes and what not, many seem to find out there is a lot to learn if one wants to be successful.
More than one member has touted the following program as a good source of information.

Best of luck.
