METHOD OF ESTIMATION

WHY WE ESTIMATE ?
Estimation helps us knowing the quantity of work,
labour, materials and funds that will be required for
the entire project thus enabling us to be prepared
beforehand

To the owner, it provides a reasonable, accurate idea

of the costs. This will help him or her decide whether
the work can be undertaken as proposed, needs to be
modified, or should be abandoned.
