Type of Estimations
Preliminary Estimates
The preliminary estimate serves as the initial stage of the cost estimation process and is presented to clients as a rough example. This allows room for adjustments based on client feedback before moving forward. As noted by Civil Engineering Daily, ‘Preliminary estimates are also known as rough or approximate estimates—used for initial screening.’ Once key project details are clarified, we proceed to develop a revised and more detailed estimate. This early phase lays the groundwork for all future planning and decisions.
Detailed Estimates
Preliminary estimates can be developed into detailed estimates based on finalized design drawings. As Civil Engineering Daily explains, ‘Detailed estimates include comprehensive information on quantities, costs, and rates covering all items required to complete the project.’ Often referred to as the contractor’s budget estimate, this in-depth breakdown ensures precise project planning and efficient resource allocation.
Quantity Estimate
A quantity estimate lists all materials and components needed to complete a project. This detailed inventory helps project managers allocate resources efficiently, reducing the risk of shortages or excess. It also empowers clients to make informed decisions about scope and budget, ensuring clear and transparent communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Bid Estimates
According to Carnegie Mellon University, “A bid estimate is submitted to a potential client in hopes of winning a project. It’s based on the contractor’s prior estimations as well as their desire to win the project—i.e., to provide the best quotation to hopefully outbid other competitors.” Bid estimates are typically prepared using the client’s plans or standard industry rates. They also consider factors such as project complexity, timeline, and potential risks, all of which influence the final quote.
