construction cost estimating is an important and major part of any construction project.<\/p>\n

to improve your estimating skills, you must first understand that each project is different and no two are identical.<\/p>\n

dr. saleh mubarak, expert on construction planning and scheduling discussed the most common construction cost estimating mistakes that are being made and how you can avoid them during a broadcast with 世界杯2022亚洲比赛时间 .<\/p>\n

there are various types of estimating methods that are used, but there are 3 methods that are used the most<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. approximate estimating<\/li>\n
  2. detailed estimating<\/li>\n
  3. model estimating (this option includes a little bit of the two listed above)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    as you may know, cost estimating is the \u201cdetermination of a quantity and the predicting or forecasting, within a defined scope, of the costs required to construct and equip a facility, to manufacture goods, or to furnish a service.” note: explained here<\/a> is the difference between a estimate, quote. bid, and proposal<\/p>\n

    some cost estimating mistakes can seem insignificant, but can turn out to be the most catastrophic when investigated.<\/p>\n

    to help you avoid and prepare for these mistakes i\u2019ve highlighted below 3<\/strong> of dr. saleh mubarak\u2019s common cost estimating mistakes and how to remedy them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    common cost estimating mistakes<\/h3>\n

    mistake #1:<\/strong> failure to apply common sense judgement on numbers produced by self or others.<\/p>\n

    people tend to depend on machines\/technology to answer questions, which may, at times, produce an incorrect answer. this inaccuracy is usually not questioned or noticed because it was calculated by a machine that is assumed to have the correct outputs at all time.<\/p>\n

    we blindly trust the computers outputs.<\/p>\n

    we don\u2019t use our heads anymore to memorize. in this day and age, everything is right at our finger tips (stored on our mobile phones). we all make mistakes, and nothing is wrong with that but being aware of these little anomalies can help in the long run.<\/p>\n

    remedy:<\/strong> always work on your \u201cmath intuition\u201d and \u201ceducated common sense\u201d judgement.<\/p>\n

    an example to help you strengthen your \u201cmath intuition\u201d or \u201ceducated common sense\u201d is grocery shopping. when you buy 40 items try to estimate how much you must pay before you go to the cash.<\/p>\n
