    Risk-Weighted Cost Estimates

    A methodology to derive risk-weighted cost estimates will be presented and practical applications for budget setting and contingency management will be discussed. Group exercises will be conducted with hands on practice on the development of risk-weighted cost estimating risk models. Cost estimating modeling prerequisites including Basis Of Estimate documentation, peer review of cost estimates and risk ranging workshops will be covered.

    Class Orientation


    Data Gathering and discovery  (3-4 hours- morning session)

        • What cost estimating tools are being used
        • Sources of cost estimate data sources (past bids, industry/in-house database)
        • Understanding the estimate review process and estimate reconciliations
        • How are contingencies set and how effective is its management
        • Industry benchmarking
        • Cost estimate classification sued (budget vs AFE)


    Data Preparation for Workshop (3-4 hours – afternoon session)

        • What form of Basis Of Cost Estimate document that is being used
        • Identify projects (actual or hypothetical) for use in the workshop
