Old methods require aug mentation with new estimating tools and techniques that capture the emerging environment. This volume represents one of many responses to this challenge by the cost analysis profession. The Institute of Cost Analysis (lCA) is dedicated to improving the effective ness of cost...

Estimating the costs of a construction project can be easy if you follow the right steps and use the right construction project management tools and techniques. Here are four simple steps you can use to accurately create a construction cost estimate. ...
Recent developments in cost estimating methods and tools that consider risks and variability in cost estimates, such as the use of range estimating and parametric estimating techniques, have not been adopted by contractors. The practice of cost estimating does not differ from conventional techniques ...
Section two discusses a new set of tools and techniques that are applied to estimate and predict model uncertainty. The analysis and findings are presented in section three, and finally in section four conclusions are drawn from this research. 2. Materials and methods Eight widely used WQI ...
Reliable and comprehensive predictive tools for the frictional pressure drop (FPD) are of particular importance for systems involving two-phase flow condensation. However, the available models are only applicable to specific operating conditions and channel sizes. Thus, this study aims at developing univ...
There are a wide variety of valid estimation techniques, including counting, expert judgment (individual and group), decomposition, analogy, proxy estimation, planning poker, and wall estimation. We can also use tools such as Cocomo II. All of these techniques require that we choose a unit of ...
database. Designed for authorities responsible for delivering large or complex capital works projects and/or programmes, the solution uses three point estimating techniques and Monte-Carlo simulation to provide users a clearer and more accurate picture of the potential price variation for capital ...
