Instead of keeping all cost estimates in one directory, they are kept in the phase of work they were created in. Keeping the cost estimates separated in the different phases will help us communicate and remember what was being estimated during the design and construction process. It will also help keep the previous estimates from being saved over by accident.

If you create drawings for the cost estimate you will want to put those drawings that you used for the take-offs with that cost estimate. It will save you a lot of time when looking for items.

WHERE DO I FIND THE COST ESTIMATE TEMPLATES?

You can find the cost estimate templates in a few of places.

1.) On the Intranet on the theHub
2.) You can find them in the Q:\Template\[city]\03 CD and look for the cost estimate templates
3.) Start a new file in excel and use the list of templates in the dialog

WHAT DO I NAME THE COST ESTIMATE FILES?

They should be named by the date [YYYY-MM-DD Format] and cost estimates.
