Structured estimating

Structured estimating

The basis of past experience to predict future events

  • Accuracy of estimating depends on the experience of the estimator
  • Cheap to apply
  • Can be used to predict times for work which has not been observed
  • Can be used as a basis for price estimating
Normally used where the required time values are not required in great detail.

  • Analytical estimating (combination of estimating & synthesis from standard data)

- Breaks a job into elements;
- Applies any standard or synthetic data that are available
- Carries out measurement on elements
- Estimates any remaining elements using his or her experience & knowledge
  • Comparative estimating (identification and measurement of "benchmark" jobs of known work content against which all other jobs to be measured are compared)
