Construction estimating is the process of forecasting the cost of delivering a construction project. It can include quantities, labour, materials, plant, subcontractor allowances and other project costs depending on the required level of detail.
Why it matters
Estimating normally starts with reviewing drawings and specifications, identifying the work scope, measuring quantities and applying appropriate pricing information.
For contractors and construction professionals
Accurate estimating helps contractors make informed tender decisions, compare options and understand where the main cost drivers sit within a project.
