II. ENUMERATION
A. The basic well known approaches in estimating:

1. By user unit method
2. By square meter method
3. By cubic meter method
4. By parametric method
5. By modular costs
6. By combined method
7. By quantity survey or bill of materials method
8. By bidding
9. By detailed estimates by quantity take off method
B. The following factors will affect costing or pricing of the estimates.

1. Labor
a. Wage Scales for the locality, present and future
b. fringe benefits
c. special working rules
d. travel and others
e. labor problems (e.g. shortage of tradesmen)
f. availability of construction work in the area
g. quality of work of local craftsmen
h. attitudes and reactions towards outside contractors.
2. Materials
a. availability and costs of local materials
b. cost and transport of not locally available materials
c. distance from supplier and fabricators
C. The method of cost estimating varies with the stage of development of the project.
The cost estimating stages are:
1. Budgetary Estimates
2. Schematic Design Estimate
3. Design Development Estimate
4. Contract Documents Estimate
5. Construction and Bidding Estimate
D. Estimating the cost of a project or a portion of a project is basically a two-step

process. These are:
1. Defining the project component to which cost can be applied
2. Assigning unit cost in order to arrive at a component cost
E. Two ways to prepare a feasibility study

1. By preliminary study which is done by lump sum analysis
2. By detailed costing which is based on actual estimates of detailed plan.

I. IDENTIFICATION
___________ 1. An outstanding method where the facility to be designed or

constructed is defined in terms of its capacity to serve.
___________ 2. Factor that affects the square meter cost of a particular building.
___________ 3. An estimating method which involves in identifying the major scope

of work which make-up the building and then applying costs to each
system based upon historical data or examples of.
___________ 4. An estimating method wherein cubage provides the basis for cost.
___________ 5. Found by multiplying the area of space times a cost factor.
___________ 6. An estimating method used in which the project is made up of

repetitious modules such as housing units and apartments.
___________ 7. An estimating method used when the project is only partially defined.
___________ 8. An estimating method which involves furnishing a description of a

portion of the project to a contractor of supplier specializing in that
portion.
___________ 9. An estimating method which includes the description of a complete

take-off of all materials in the project. The description of a complete
take-off of all materials in the project.
___________ 10. Normally used in earthwork, civil construction and air conditioning.
___________ 11. The function of coordinating in a logical order all the activities,
persons, machines, and materials necessary to complete the subject
and considers only technology and sequence.
___________ 12. The placing of the plan on a calendar timetable and showing the
allocation of the equipment and manpower that will put the plan into
effect.
___________ 13. A method of planning which shows both functions simultaneously

with the result that the answer is too often incomplete.
___________ 14. A method of planning that separates planning and scheduling and
clarifies the inter-relationship between time and cost.
___________ 15. A point in time signaling the beginning or end of one or more
activities.
___________ 16. A special activity which is drawn as a dotted line and indicates that no
work is involved in that activity.
___________ 17. The longest path in time through the Network.
___________ 18. Used to calculate the schedule for a project and also to find those
activities that are controlling the amount of time needed to get the
project done.
___________ 19. An input defining the activities in the project.
___________ 20. An input estimating the activities.
___________ 21. An input for cost monitoring and cash requirement calculations.
___________ 22. An input where subcontractor is primarily concerned with activities

affecting his portion of work.
___________ 23. An input for resource requirement and calculations such as men,
money, materials and equipment.
___________ 24. Shows the time necessary for each function but does not show how
they are related to one another.
___________ 25. Had its inception in the Navy for its fleet Ballistic Missile Program
dated 1958.
___________ 26. A word defined as capable of being done or carried out; practicable,
possible and within reason.
___________ 27. A study wherein the project is studied to be capable of being used or
dealt with and when carried out shall have a reasonable return of
investment or ROI to the financiers or developers.
___________ 28. A case wherein the owner of the land wants to be a partner of the
developer and participate in the profits.
