Detailed

A detailed cost estimate should provide the proper level of detail

to:

Page 13: Construction Cost Estimating - Quality Cost Estimating

Detailed

A detailed cost estimate should provide the proper level of detail

to:

Validate scope completeness

Page 14: Construction Cost Estimating - Quality Cost Estimating

Detailed

A detailed cost estimate should provide the proper level of detail

to:

Validate scope completeness Allow for desired reporting

Page 15: Construction Cost Estimating - Quality Cost Estimating

Detailed

A detailed cost estimate should provide the proper level of detail

to:

Validate scope completeness Allow for desired reporting

Accommodate the high and detailed level cost reviews

Page 16: Construction Cost Estimating - Quality Cost Estimating

Detailed

A detailed cost estimate should provide the proper level of detail

to:

Validate scope completeness Allow for desired reporting

Accommodate the high and detailed level cost reviews

Allow for data feed to the preliminary construction schedule

Detailed

A detailed cost estimate should provide the proper level of detail

to:

Validate scope completeness Allow for desired reporting

Accommodate the high and detailed level cost reviews

Allow for data feed to the preliminary construction schedule

Allow for data validation

Validated

A cost estimate should never be approved without the ability to validate the data within the cost estimate.

How do we validate cost estimate data?

Page 19: Construction Cost Estimating - Quality Cost Estimating

Validated

A cost estimate should never be approved without the ability to validate the data within the cost estimate.

How do we validate cost estimate data? By developing a proper price sourcing

strategy

Page 20: Construction Cost Estimating - Quality Cost Estimating

Validated

A cost estimate should never be approved without the ability to validate the data within the cost estimate.

How do we validate cost estimate data? By developing a proper price sourcing

strategy By comparison against existing, in-house

similar project cost data

Page 21: Construction Cost Estimating - Quality Cost Estimating

Validated

A cost estimate should never be approved without the ability to validate the data within the cost estimate.

How do we validate cost estimate data? By developing a proper price sourcing

strategy By comparison against existing, in-house

similar project cost data By using commercially available similar

projects cost data

Validated

A cost estimate should never be approved without the ability to validate the data within the cost estimate.

How do we validate cost estimate data? By developing a proper price sourcing

strategy By comparison against existing, in-house

similar project cost data By using commercially available similar

projects cost data By consulting with construction professionals

within the company

cannot be validated, it should be registered as risk and priced accordingly.
