needed to complete the project
on time with required quality.
[Proponents and Owners]

COST ESTIMATES

that is acceptable to the client with
reasonable profit.
[Contractors]

COST ESTIMATES

necessary to perform construction
activities in conformance with
quality and delivery requirement.
[Project Engineers]

Purpose of
Estimating and Costing

There are several purposes in

estimating and costing
--depending on point of view of-Proponents/Owners
Designers
Contractors
Project Engineers

Proponents/Owners Point of View

To establish a reliable and
dependable Cost Estimate that will
serve as a basis for awarding the
project to qualified contractor.

For proponents and owners with

reliable and accurate estimate, Bid
Price is gauge how close it is to reality
of completing the project on time
without sacrificing quality.

The objective of estimating is to

declare the right budget for the
project to be completed on time
without sacrificing quality.
A budget acceptable to contractors
that is economical and reasonable.

Contractors Point of View

To establish a realistic and
accurate Price with greater chance
of winning the bid and gaining
reasonable profit.

Winning the project without gaining

profit is a losing proposition.
On the other hand, ensuring
greater profit without winning the
project is a futile exercise.

The objective of estimating is to

declare the right price for each
work item.
A price acceptable to the client with
reasonable profit.

Designers Point of View

To establish alternative budget
options that is realistic and
acceptable to owners without
sacrificing Public Safety.

For designers with realistic and

reasonable estimate, Owners Budget
is gauge how close it is to reality of
ensuring Public Safety and complying
Codes and Regulations.

The objective of estimating is to

endorse the right budget for the
project without sacrificing public
safety and code compliance.
A budget acceptable to owners that
is realistic and reasonable.

Project Engineers Point of View

To establish alternative budget
options that is realistic and
reasonable to company without
sacrificing Quality and Delivery.

For engineers with realistic and

accurate estimate, Companys Budget
is gauge how close it is to reality of
ensuring the project will be completed
on time without sacrificing quality.

The objective of estimating is to

endorse the right budget for the
project to be completed on time
with the required quality.
A budget acceptable to the company
that is realistic and reasonable.

Importance of
Detailed Costing

Importance of Detailed Costing

DURING DESIGN & PLANNING STAGE
Preliminary Cost Advice and Budgetary

For owners, knowing the

budgetary requirement is a must.
It is necessary for making a -GO or NO GO decision.

Importance of Detailed Costing

DURING DESIGN & PLANNING STAGE
Studying Possible Design Option

With costing in design options,

the owner is able to study not only
the quality behind
But also the cost implication
for such option.

Importance of Detailed Costing

DURING DESIGN & PLANNING STAGE
Cost Planning

The management can plan

for cost appropriation,
if cost of work is clear.
Budget approval
would be easier --eventually.

Importance of Detailed Costing

PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION STAGE
Basis for Pricing

For contractors, cost estimating is

necessary in coming up with the
most reasonable price with
greater chance of winning the bid
and gaining good profit.

Importance of Detailed Costing

DURING CONSTRUCTION STAGE
Basis for Project Cost Control

With cost details, monitoring and

control is easier to implement.
Cost Performance Evaluation
can be done quickly to assess
savings or cost over run.

Importance of Detailed Costing

DURING CONSTRUCTION STAGE
Basis for Billing and Collection

Without Cost Estimates, billing

would be unreliable.
Worst, it might become unrealistic
that the client will seek further
justification.

Importance of Detailed Costing

DURING CONSTRUCTION STAGE
Basis for Evaluating Work Progress

In detailed costing, work items are

declared with clear and definite
costing per time interval.
Time scaled costing serves as a
basis for Progress Evaluation.

Importance of Detailed Costing

DURING CONSTRUCTION STAGE
Basis for Variation Claims

Change Orders and Extra Works

have to be quantified and given
costing prior to execution.
Approved Detailed Costing is
necessary before working.

Importance of Detailed Costing

POST CONSTRUCTION STAGE
Basis for Performance Analysis of the Project

After completing the project, final

costing is done to reflect profit.
The final cost becomes part of
cost information needed as
reference of future project.

Estimating Phases
in a Project Cycle

Estimating Phases in a Project Cycle

BUDGETARY ESTIMATE
An owners quick estimate of Total Project Cost

It serves as a basis for sizing up

whether financial standing is
sufficient or not.
Most appropriate during
Conceptualization Stage.

Estimating Phases in a Project Cycle

PROGRAMMING ESTIMATE
An estimate of major work item in percent weight

It serves as a basis for cost

allocation of major work items.
Most appropriate during
Project Definition Stage.

Estimating Phases in a Project Cycle

SCHEMATIC ESTIMATE
A designers estimate of major work items

Estimates are more accurate

when material specifications and
bill of quantities are known.
Most appropriate during
Project Planning Stage.

Estimating Phases in a Project Cycle

PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE
A contractors estimate of the project

An estimate that is focused on

winning the bid and gaining profit.
Most appropriate during
Project Tendering Stage.

Estimating Phases in a Project Cycle

FINAL ESTIMATE
An optimum estimate from a bid winner

An estimate that is focused on

establishing cost control as well
as maximizing profit.
Most appropriate during
Pre-planning Stage.

Estimating Phases in a Project Cycle

CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE
A construction estimate based on production plan

An estimate that is focused on

optimizing resources, productivity
and cost savings.
Most appropriate during
Project Execution Stage.

Steps in preparing
Cost Estimates

Step #1

LEARN ABOUT THE

PROPOSED PROJECT

Step #1

LEARN
about the proposed project.
BEGIN
by fully understanding the
Proposed Project Package.

Apply 5W2H.

First W

Stands for WHO?

(Who is the owner of project?)
Knowing the owner
will give us an idea about the
Proposed Project Package.

Owners have particular

quality, delivery, and cost
requirement.

Second W

Stands for WHAT?

(What the project is all about?)
A brief description that
will give us an overview about
the Proposed Project.

Details can be found in

the Invitation to Bid
and Scope of Work.

Third W

Stands for WHERE?

(Where the project is located?)
Be familiar with the location of
the proposed project.
Is it remote? Far?
Is it Near? Accessible?

Some factors have to be

considered based on
project location.

Fourth W

Stands for WHEN?

(When to submit the bid?)
(When to start and finish the project?)
Know the deadline in order to
submit the bid on-time.
Determine when to start and finish
the proposed project.

Know the project schedule.

When? What date? How long?

Fifth W

Stands for WHY?

(Why undertake the project?)
Unwritten most of the time.
But, there is always a reason
behind a project being done.

Knowing this hidden

WHY? is a plus factor.
It answers the quality, delivery
and cost requirement.

First H

Stands for HOW?

(How the project would be done?)
Knowing HOW is...
...knowing the step-by-step work
to be undertaken on the project.

Knowing the STEP is...

knowing the quality,
delivery and cost component
of the WORK.

Second H

Stands for HOW MUCH?

(How much is the cost of the project?)
Knowing how much...
is the approved budget
... is a plus factor.

DECLARED OR NOT...
you must have an idea to
make the estimate realistic.
