How It Works

Project Cost Estimation breaks down a project into individual cost items across categories (Labor, Materials, Fixed/Overhead) and phases (Planning, Execution, Closing, etc.).

Total Cost = Sum of (Qty × Unit Cost) for all items + Contingency %

Cost Categories

  • Labor — wages, salaries, contractor fees
  • Materials — supplies, raw materials, licenses
  • Fixed/Overhead — rent, insurance, utilities, equipment

Tips

  • Add 10–20% contingency for unknowns
  • Break large items into smaller line items
  • Group by phase to track spending over time
  • Export to CSV for spreadsheet analysis
