Project Management and Productivity Tools
Cost estimation is the process of forecasting the financial resources required to complete a project, product, or service, based on factors like materials, labor, time, and overhead. It's widely used by construction estimators, project managers, engineers, and software developers to create budgets and proposals before work begins. Accurate cost estimation relies on historical data, parametric models, and expert judgment to minimize the risk of budget overruns.
