Estimating in 3D: the next dimension

By: Contributor(s): Series: Cost Engineer ; 42(5) September 2004, 14-19(6)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: This conference paper from the ICEC 2004 World Conference presents an overview of current projects looking at the estimating process. Table itemises owner estimate classes. Figures illustrate a simplified estimating workflow, a typical estimating screen, Computer-Aided Estimating (CAE) and estimating interface, and an interface with project management software. Concludes that the use of CAE can help streamline and accelerate the economic evaluation process.
