Why Estimating?
This subject teach us the principle and calculation of estimating construction cost and components prices such as material, plant and equipment, labour, wastage, profit and overhead. As a QS, we have to know how to estimate bid price for a project, which will ultimately become part of a resulting construction contract. Other than bidding, we also prepare cost estimates for feasibility studies of projects in the early stage.
