Project Scope Definition
Understand the project requirements, objectives, and scope. This involves reviewing architectural plans, engineering drawings, specifications, and any other relevant documents.
Takeoff
This step involves quantifying the materials and labor required for each aspect of the project based on the project scope. This is often done by performing a takeoff from the drawings and specifications.
Material Cost Estimation
Research current market prices for materials from suppliers and adjusting for factors like location, seasonality, and quantity discounts.
Labor Cost Estimation
Determine the labor hours needed for each task and applying labor rates, considering factors such as skill level, union agreements, and prevailing wages.
Equipment Cost Estimation
If specialized equipment is needed for the project, estimate the costs associated with equipment rental or ownership, including fuel, maintenance, and operator costs.
Earthwork Modeling
Use specialized CAD software to model the sites to determine the soil cut/fill volumes needed for the project.
What projects does SCE do estimating for?
SCE creates accurate cost estimations for large civil construction projects such as university buildings, stadiums, parks, etc.
What parts of a project does SCE not estimate?
