Types of Estimates
Several different levels of estimates are used to project construction costs. Each has a different purpose. The various types may be referred to by different names and some may not be recognized by all as necessary or definitive, though most estimators will agree to several basic levels, each of which has its place in the construction estimating process. In this text, the levels of estimates are broken down as follows.
- Order of Magnitude Estimates: The order of magnitude estimate could be loosely described as an educated guess It can be completed in a matter of minutes Accuracy is plus or minus 20%.
- Square Foot and Cubic Foot Estimates: This type is most often useful when only the proposed size and use of a planned building is known Very little information is required Accuracy is plus or minus 15%.
- Assemblies Systems Estimate: An assemblies estimate is best used as a budgetary tool in the planning stages of a project Accuracy is expected at plus or minus 10%.
- Unit Price Estimate: Working drawings and full specifications are required to complete a unit price estimate It is the most accurate of the four types but is also the most time consuming Used primarily for bidding purposes, accuracy is plus or minus 5%.
What is a covenant?
hese restrictions come in the form of covenants, or promises, written into deeds and other instruments. They call for the new owner to perform or not perform certain acts, or to use the property a certain way or prevent its use in other ways.
