Project Estimating and Cost Management


Many of the currently available books on estimating cover project estimating in a discipline-specific mode, such as construction estimating, software development estimating, and process plant estimating. Although there is a great deal of commonality in estimating techniques among all industries, distilling the nondiscipline-specific topics is sometimes difficult because they tend to get masked by the details of the discipline that is the subject of the project.


Project Estimating and Cost Management covers the fundamentals of esti-mating projects in a discipline-independent context. It covers the essentials of project estimating, progress monitoring, and cost management, and is intended for project professionals who need a quick overview of the process of estimating the cost of projects. Special attention is focused on estimate accuracy and the issues surrounding cost and schedule overruns.
