Engineer's Estimate

An Engineer's Estimate is a detailed calculation used to predict the total cost of a construction project before it begins. It considers factors like materials, labor, equipment, and project complexity to provide a realistic budget. This estimate helps project planners, contractors, and stakeholders understand the financial scope, compare bids, and make informed decisions. While it’s based on engineering data and specifications, it is ultimately an educated approximation and may be adjusted as the project moves forward and actual costs become clearer.
