One of the most crucial components of the construction process, construction cost estimating is the process of forecasting the expense of building a physical structure. Understanding what a construction cost estimator is and the phases entailed is therefore essential to anyone who is concerned about how much their project will cost. Cost estimates are executed for many different types of construction projects, from building new structures to remodelling/ refurbishment projects Interestingly the Oxford English dictionary defines builders estimating as “the “exact science” of arriving at the costs required to complete a project. ”
