“The practice of forecasting the cost of completing a project
❑ Critical for:
a. Base Cost
b. Contingencies
c. Financial Charges during Implementation
Base Cost
2. Audit costs
❑ Include excise taxes, sales taxes, value-added taxes, import and custom
duties.
❑ Taxes and duties are estimated by applying prevailing tax rates to the
related tax categories.
6. In-kind Contributions
7. Safeguards-Related Costs
❑ Monitoring measures
Contingencies
➢ Uncertainties throughout a project’s life.
4. Schedule • How long have you been given to complete the estimate? •
How long do you need to complete the estimate, given the available
resources and data? • Do you have the resources needed to conduct the
estimate with the allotted schedule? • Do you have the time to collect
the required data and analyze the data?
1. Define Estimate’s Purpose
▪ Provide overall scope.
▪ Determine who will receive the estimate
6. Obtain Data
▪ Create a data collection plan with emphasis on collecting current and relevant technical, cost,
and risk data
▪ Investigate possible data sources and document all pertinent information including an
assessment of data reliability and accuracy
▪ Collect data and normalize them for cost accounting, inflation, learning and quantity
adjustments
▪ Analyze data and compare against standard factors derived from historical data
▪ Store data for future estimates
7. Develop Point Estimate and Compare It to an Independent Cost Estimate
▪ Develop a cost model, estimating each work element using the best methodology from the
data collected, and including all estimating assumptions
▪ Time-phase the results by spreading costs in the years they are expected to occur, based on
the program schedule
▪ Sum the work breakdown structure elements to develop the overall point estimate
▪ Validate the estimate by looking for errors
▪ Compare estimate against the independent cost estimate and examine where and why there
are differences
▪ Update the model as more data become available
❑ Also the most versatile estimating technique and you can use it for
many types of projects.
