Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 29d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 13/05/14 01:48 PM Share Posted 13/05/14 01:48 PM (edited) Nothing paltry about 500k when it's only one component of the total cost.. 500k in structural steel (supply only) would be quite an expensive little job.. Gotta hate it when an estimate doesn't quite reach a milestone though.. Could fudge it up to a half mil quote and risk not getting the job.. Or do you fudge it down to 450 and hope you've got a better chance at winning it..Haha tolerances in estimating are pretty varied.. Do you allow a certain margin for risk? Just to bolt on some extra fat if need be? Edited 13/05/14 01:50 PM by Never had any say Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you estimate by steel weight or by $/m per item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used to be a solid works operator or something didn't ya?If you need any help with estimating ie: First Principle or Monte Carlo (Not sure if you'll get a job that big) I can help if needed.
