Making an
Estimate for building
 Luke 14:28 “For
example, who of YOU that wants to build a tower does not first sit
Down and
calculate the expense, to see if he has enough to complete it?" An estimates
does carry the same approach as the quoted the scripture above.
A building
estimate is an approximate calculation, projection of a quantity base on research
facts that
is value,
number, quantity , materials, labor ,
etc. A building estimates is good whenever you start a construction project
that is govern by a budget or when your barrowing a loan from a financial
institution. Some advantages of doing a building estimate is; 1. Save
money and time - Doing a building estimate prevents you from buying un-necessary
items. 2. Provides
you with the knowledge of the probable costs associated in order to gain financial
commitment. 3. Help in
budgeting or budget control. 4. It
provides information to the contractor, architect, or engineer of the cost of
the project and what you need. There are
also other advantages of doing an estimates but I am just mentioning the main
ones.
Many times
in Jamaica or within building construction field a estimates is required,
However
clients generally do not see the benefits of doing a Building estimates and
times during the project the estimate would be great benefit to track the
amount of material that they have bought. Well, architect or contractors can
provide you with sample estimate or bill of quantity to get you started. However,
it is recommended that you get a quantity surveyor in this case. Please leave
