2. Cost estimate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_estimate

   A cost estimate is the approximation of the cost of a program, project, or operation. The cost estimate is the product of the cost estimating process. The cost estimate has a single total value and may have identifiable component values. A problem with a cost overrun can be avoided with a credible, reliable, and accurate cost estimate. A cost ...

3. Construction estimating software - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_estimating...

   Construction cost estimating software is computer software designed for contractors to estimate construction costs for a specific project. A cost estimator will typically use estimating software to estimate their bid price for a project, which will ultimately become part of a resulting construction contract. Some architects, engineers ...

4. Pre-construction services - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-construction_services

   Usually cost estimates are supported by conceptual or rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) estimates. [1] The design then starts with a schematic design (SD) stage, followed by a design development stage, and culminates in a construction document state. In the design-bid-build system, there is a construction bidding process that falls between the ...

5. Cost engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_engineering

   Cost engineering is "the engineering practice devoted to the management of project cost, involving such activities as estimating, cost control, cost forecasting, investment appraisal and risk analysis". [1] "Cost Engineers budget, plan and monitor investment projects. They seek the optimum balance between cost, quality and time requirements." [2]

6. Basis of estimate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_of_estimate

   A pivot table in BOEMax, a Basis of Estimate software package. To create a BOE companies, throughout the past few decades, have used spreadsheet programs and skilled cost analysts to enter thousands of lines of data and create complex algorithms to calculate the costs. These positions require a high level of skill to ensure accuracy and ...

7. Software development effort estimation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development...

   In software development, effort estimation is the process of predicting the most realistic amount of effort (expressed in terms of person-hours or money) required to develop or maintain software based on incomplete, uncertain and noisy input.

8. Project cost management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_cost_management

   Project Cost Management (PCM) is the dimension of project management which aims to ensure that a project is completed within its approved budget. [1] [2] It encompasses several specific project management activities including estimating, job controls, field data collection, scheduling, accounting and design, and uses technology to measure cost and productivity through the full life-cycle of ...

9. Site analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_analysis

   Synthesis phase: From the analysis, a program is developed, which is part of the synthesis phase. The third step deals with schematic design of a site plan as well as a preliminary cost estimate for the site. Step four involves more developed designs and a detailed cost estimate. Step five is the construction documents or the plan.
