Introduction
Examine the goals of the estimating process Overview of how the construction industry operates and introduce preliminary
estimating techniques.
Trang 43So… what is ESTIMATING?
◦ an approximation of cost
◦ an evaluation of the future cost to complete the project before any work starts.
Trang 44© 2016, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Definitions Review
Project Stakeholders:
• Owner / Developer
◦ Initiates & Finances the Project
• Architect/Designer/Engineer (a.k.a Design Team)
◦ In charge of the vision and design
• Contractor / Construction Manager
◦ Manages the building process, trades, and/or builds the project.

Trang 45◦ Ideas, sketches, preliminary design, design development, working
drawings, tender sets, issued for construction, etc…
• Tendering Phase
◦ “Issued for Tender” (IFT) Drawings are provided to construction companies
to prepare “Estimates” to complete the construction of the project
Trang 46© 2016, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Definitions Review
Phases of a project:
• Construction Phase
◦ Site grading, excavation & backfill, concrete, rough carpentry, mechanical
& electrical, finish carpentry, finishes, etc…
• Commissioning / Occupancy Phase
◦ Development is occupied or commissioned by owner
Trang 47Role of Estimating
3 Main Types of estimates that each serve different functions
within the construction industry.
1 Conceptual Estimates:
Prepared during the Planning Phase of a project
Estimate of the probable cost of the work to determine feasibility of the project
No design details available at this time
2 Preliminary Estimates
Prepared during the Design Phase
Typically part of cost control programs that help manage expenditure of funds throughout a project
3 Detailed Estimates
Trang 48© 2016, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
CONCEPTUAL ESTIMATES
Go or No-Go?
• An owners decision to proceed with a project is based on a comparison of
2 key factors:
◦ Value – determined by the owner
Return on Investment (ROI)
Public Benefit
Public Image
◦ Cost – estimated by a conceptual estimate
Design and Project Management costs
◦ ex: sale price of $6M > development costs of $5M = feasible project
The owner relies on a Conceptual Estimate
to quantify these costs.
Trang 49PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES
Preliminary Estimates are prepared throughout the design process to help the design team ensure their design meets the project budget.
◦ Prepared at specified intervals
Ex 25%, 50%, 75% of design completion
◦ Often subdivided into common price categories specified in the cost plan for the project.
Substructure, Superstructure, Cladding, Flooring, Stairs & Lifts, etc…
◦ Prepared with incomplete design details
Accuracy of preliminary estimates increases as design progresses and details are finalized.
◦ Allows design team to make design choices to stay on budget
Alternatives are continually evaluated to ensure the most appropriate selections are made to accomplish the owners and designers objectives.
Trang 50© 2016, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Trang 51Unit Price
• Project is analyzed in terms of the number of items of a certain unit
◦ ex: number of rooms in a hotel
• Unit Price = Total Construction Cost / Number of Rooms
• Why estimate based # of units?
◦ Owners revenue comes from the cost per night for the hotel room
◦ Owner needs to know how long will it take to pay off the project based on projected occupancy
i.e $200/night/room x 100 rooms = $20,000 revenue/night (if full)
• Unit pricing from one project can be used to forecast future projects.
◦ Note: Projects must be similar in nature for unit cost forecasting to be accurate
i.e - construction design, overall size, quality of finish, geographical location and the time of year for construction.
Trang 52© 2016, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Area Price
• The most common method of preliminary estimate
• The cost per square meter (m2) or square foot (sqft) of a project is determined by dividing the construction costs by the gross floor area.
• Area Price = Total Construction Costs / Gross Floor Area
• Gross Floor Area (GFA)
◦ Area of all floors measured to the outside of the exterior walls
◦ Does not include:
area of a basement (finished or unfinished)
area of an attached garage
areas of exterior stairs, balconies or any other exterior projections outside the face
of exterior walls
Areas of openings in floors for stairwells or elevator shafts
Trang 53Area Price
Determine the Area Price for the following examples:
• A 1400 sqft house built for $90,000
• A 12740 m2 warehouse built for $2.43 million
• A 15 storey apartment building built for $45 Million
◦ 15 floors above ground
◦ 4 floor underground parking garage beneath building
◦ 6100 total sqft per floor
◦ 2 elevator shafts (50 sqft each) extend from the top floor to bottom of parking garage
Trang 54© 2016, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Volume Price
• Similar to Price per Area, however project is determined by dividing the construction costs by the gross volume of a building
• Volume Price = Total Construction Cost / Volume of Building
Volume = height of building x area of the building Height = bottom of gravel below basement to top of roof surface
• Commonly used for estimating warehouses with high ceiling heights.
◦ Higher ceilings result in greater skin area, therefore an area price is often not appropriate
Trang 55Approximate Quantities
• Accounts for both the overall project size and the prices of
specific resources used in construction:
◦ Design details, quality of finish, geographical location and time of year when the work was undertaken
• It is done by measuring and pricing assemblies of work that comprise a group of related trade activities.
◦ Approximately how much concrete will be used
◦ Approximately how much electrical work is required
◦ Approximately how much drywall and finishing is required
◦ Approximately how much site grading is required

OBJECTIVES OF AN ESTIMATING
DEPARTMENT
Planning Phase: Owner requires Conceptual Estimate to
determine if project is GO or NO-GO
Design Phase: Drawings developed to confirm the
scope of work Preliminary Estimates are required to
refine the accuracy of the cost plan budget.
Pre-bid phase: Specifications and final drawings are issued Pre-Bid Estimate is prepared for owner.
Tendering phase: Bidders prepare Detailed Estimates to price the job The contract is award based on the
tender selection criteria pre-established
Construction phase: Construction work takes place Cost Control Estimates are required Change orders are issued during construction.

The Estimating Process & Preliminary Procedures
Trang 59• This module describes the estimating process and provides the basic framework for the modules that follow You will use the skills acquired here in many subsequent sections
• This module introduces the process of estimating and will help you develop your skills in measuring drawings and calculating building
perimeters
Trang 60• 11.1 Explain the purpose of conceptual and other preliminary
estimates
• 11.2 Describe five methods of preparing preliminary estimates
• 11.3 Given the floor plan of a residential building, compile a
preliminary estimate using the cost-per-unit area method
• 11.4 Given the external or internal dimensions of a perimeter wall, calculate the length of the centreline perimeter
Trang 61STEPS IN THE ESTIMATING PROCESS FOR A PROJECT
Trang 62DEFINITION OF A “QUERY LIST”
• List of all questions from the estimator to the designer during the quantity take-off process, instead of several phone calls
• Designers will respond orally to the estimators regarding minor
questions
• Written responses are required for significant questions, known as addenda or bid bulletins These documents become part of the tender documents and must be included in both the Bid and the Contract with the awarded contractor
In our Class: Assignment Questions should be addressed using this approach to get use to the process and industry norms
Trang 63DEFINITION OF “TEAM APPROACH”
• During the estimating process, the estimator usually works alone on quantity and cost estimates
• A better result can be obtained with the involvement of managers and experienced field personnel
• Some companies establish an estimate review meeting a couple of
days before the bid due date The purpose of the meeting is to involve company managers and estimators to review the estimating prices and assumptions made in the preparation of the estimate
