Bid drawings usually provide very little detail about the specific requirements of site work
operations. The drawings will give details of the new construction required for the project but
information about the size and shape of excavations and details of current site conditions are
seldom provided
What is meant by a team approach to estimating, and how can it help an estimator in his or
her work?
Why is the process of measuring excavation different from measuring the work of other
trades?
Why does the estimating process need to be scheduled?
What is the purpose of Cost Estimating?

a) An evaluation of a future cost
b) An accurate forecast of future cost
c) An attempt to determine the likely cost of some building work before the work is
done

Term 6 of 66
What is meant by a team approach to estimating, and how can it help an estimator in his or her
work?
• An evaluation of a future cost
• An attempt to determine the likely cost of some building work before the work is
done
The process of analyzing a specific scope of work
and predicting the cost of performing the work.
The team approach involves the input of managers and experienced field personnel in the
preparation of an estimate rather than having estimators work alone on the task
The cost of hand excavation is generally far high than the cost of other excavation methods.
