Cost Estimation Workbook - Winter/Spring 2022 Workshop
Cost Estimation Office presents the Cost Estimation Workbook (CEWB) for the Winter/Spring 2022 workshop moderated by Mitch Ball and Ray Johnston. The workshop covers the introduction, highlights, inflation exercise, and project tracking using the CEWB. The workbook provides a consistent format for project estimates, ensuring costs are accurately tracked over the project's lifecycle. Participants can access the CEWB and user guide for detailed instructions and summary breakdowns. Join the workshop to explore cost estimating practices and enhance your project estimation skills.
