ESTIMATING

ESTIMATING is the process of determining the amount and type of work to be performed and the quantities of material, equipment, and labor required. Lists of these quantities and types of work are called estimates.

PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES

PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES are made from limited information, such as the general description of projects or the preliminary plans and specifications, having little or no detail. Preliminary estimates are prepared to establish costs for the budget and to program general manpower requirements.

DETAILED ESTIMATES

DETAILED ESTIMATES are the precise statements of quantities of material, equipment, and manpower required to construct a given project. The underestimating of quantities can cause serious delays in construction and even result in unfinished projects. A detailed estimate must be accurate to the smallest detail to quantify requirements correctly.
