Cost Estimates over the Project Life Cycle Planning Estimates Planning estimates are normally created for a proposed job or project before the conceptual design is completed. Planning estimates are used to set cost estimates for early project work involving scope determination and feasibility study efforts and for a preliminary budget estimate of the total project costs. Planning estimates are based on drawing analogies from past cost experience with similar projects, where available. Rough Order of Magnitude estimates are planning estimates used in the absence of previous cost experience. Planning estimates are only approximations. It is imperative that the estimator fully describe and document the basis of the estimate, including how the estimate was prepared and any items specifically excluded from the estimate. Budgetary or Conceptual Design Estimates The fundamental purposes of a budgetary or conceptual design estimate are: Ensuring that the project offers suffic...
