Quantity Takeoffs

A quantity estimate is an estimate which includes complete quantitative details of the material required to complete the project. It gives quantitative details of all goods required along with or without cost. It is the most important estimating method in construction.

Preliminary Estimates

The preliminary estimate (Approximate Cost Estimate) is a rough estimate given to give a general idea about how much a total construction project will cost. It is done at the beginning of a project when only limited information is available.
A preliminary estimate allows a trade or home service company to figure out the budget for a project and what to charge the client.

Detailed Estimates

As the scope of the project is better known, one can take out a detailed estimate. Usually, a preliminary estimate is converted to an exact estimate when more information is available.
A detailed estimate contains the below information:
• Complete information about rates used to calculate the cost
• Project specifications
• Drawings for all the areas included in the project
• Layout plans etc.

Bid Estimates

A bid estimate is calculated with the expectation to win a project. It is shared with potential clients. A contractor usually tries to bid the best price to win the contract. Such an estimate is calculated based on standard industry costs or past projects.
A contractor may only put a lot of work into this cost estimation method if he believes his chance of winning the bid is high. The quality of estimates matters a lot here.
