Valid Construction Cost Estimate Creation

Valid construction cost estimate creation is the goal of every professional estimator.

Any professional construction cost estimator worth their salt will not talk about “accuracy”.    In fact, it may be best to avoid any person or vendor that makes claims about the accuracy of their estimate or cost information.    The reason is simple, an estimate, by nature, is an approximation.  Furthermore, measuring accuracy is impossible as there is no datum.  Using the final construction cost, for example, is just plain silly as there are far too many variables involved in the outcome.
