“…the effective application of professional and
technical expertise to plan and control resources,
costs, profitability and risks. Simply stated, it is
a systematic approach to managing
cost throughout the life cycle of any enterprise,
program, facility, project, product, or service.
This is accomplished through the application of
cost engineering and cost management
principles, proven methodologies and the latest
technology in support of the management
process.”

– Makes sure your resources go where they’ll get the best
• ROI (Return On Investment)
• IRR (Internal Rate of Return)
• RONA (Return on Net Assets)
• Integrated/Aligned Programs
– Makes sure your projects are all integrated, aligned and
coordinated
• Controlled Projects
– Makes sure each project gives business the results that were
planned for
12
…and, makes sure everything is
aligned with Business Strategy!

www.costengineering.eu
Return on Assets is largely driven by practices used
before projects begin
• With TCM, owners understand and manage the
costs of their asset base over the entire asset life
cycle
Successful Projects are required if the planned return
is to be achieved
• With TCM, owners and contractors control the
costs of their projects over the entire project life
cycle

Cost Estimate:
• A cost estimate is the prediction of the probable
costs of a project, of a given and documented
scope, to be completed at a defined location and
point of time in the future.
38
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Cost Estimate
• Involves assumptions and uncertainty
• and therefore some level of error
• Involves probabilities
• and therefore ranges of costs
• Involves a given scope
• contingency covers variability within the defined
scope - not changes in scope

An estimate has no value if one does not know

www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
To maintain order it is necessary to divide costs into categories e.g.:
• Material vs. labour vs. subcontracts
• Direct costs vs. indirect costs vs. home office costs
The control structure should be established as early as possible in
the project
The process of the project’s control structure is an on-going
process requiring updates
Large projects will often use:
• Work breakdown structures (WBS)
• Resource breakdown structures (RBS)
44
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Cost elements are divided in three different cost categories, the basic
resources, to provide insight in what makes up cost:
Material: The physical composition of the asset.
Labour: The work needed to complete the activity or asset.
Other: Resources needed to support the activity and/or asset. For
example the facilities needed to produce an activity or asset, which
would include the tooling, electricity, taxes, and maintenance,
necessary to keep the facility available for use.
47
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Further structuring the resources is important in order to understand
how they influence the total cost and how they can be controlled:
Direct Costs: Resources that are expended solely to complete the
activity or asset.
Indirect Costs: Resources that need to be expended to support the
activity or asset but that are also associated with other activities and
assets.
Fixed Costs: Cost elements that must be provided independent of
the volume or production that they support.
Variable Costs: Cost elements that must be provided and are
dependent on the volume production that they support.
48
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Another of way of classifying costs is using a work breakdown
structure (WBS) (to group cost elements)
The WBS is generally a required project management tool
on most contracts
WBS provides a framework for planning and controlling
the resources needed to perform the technical objectives
WBS facilitates a summary of project data regarding the
cost and schedule performance.
49

Discrete part or product manufacturing refers to the
production of separate, individual products, whereas
continuous manufacturing is concerned with large units
to be futher processed, such as a roll of sheet steel, or
units in fluid form with no distinct shape.

Ratio of costs between two similar facilities of different capacities equals the
ratio of the capacities multiplied by an exponent:
$B
$A
= (
CapB
CapA
)e
Rewrite to:
$B= $A (
CapB
CapA
)e
Where:
$B = Cost facility being estimated
$A = Known cost similar facility
CapB = Capacity facility being estimated
CapA = Capacity similar facility
e = Exponent or proration factor
51

52
Sometimes called Top-Down estimate is based on
limited Project scope – uses rules of thumb or
parametric models or Historical data bases to provide
relevant cost data – to develop cost per square foot /
m2 for a building or cost for a similar piece of
equipment.
‘
’
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Parametric estimating entails the analysis of cost,
programmatic and technical data to identify cost drivers
and develop cost models. The approach essentially
correlates cost and manpower information with
parameters describing the item to be costed. This
process results in sets of formulae known as “Cost
Estimation Relationships”(CERS), which are applied to
produce cost outputs for different elements of an
estimate.
‘
’
53
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
54
Sometimes called bottom-up. With this method,
detailed estimates are made at relatively low levels in
the work breakdown structure (WBS), typically at work-
package or task level. This approach is closely related to
scheduling, planning and resource allocation and is
both time-consuming and costly. It requires a good
knowledge of the activity and there also needs to be a
reasonable level of definition for the exercise to be
meaningful.

• Technical terminology
• Tricks
• Common sense
• Experience

The following terms are used within estimating:
• Allowance
• Indirect Cost
• Accuracy
• Contingency
• Escalation
• MOD - Money of the Day
• RT/CVM - Real Term / Constant Value money
59
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Allowances are often included in an estimate to account for
the predictable but undefinable costs associated with project
scope. Allowances are most often used when preparing
deterministic or detailed estimates.
Some typical examples of allowances :
Design allowance for engineered equipment
Material take-off allowance
Overbuy allowance
Unrecoverable shipping damage allowance
Allowance for undefined major items
60
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Costs not directly attributable to the completion of an activity.
Indirect costs are typically allocated or spread across all activities
on a predetermined basis.
In construction, all costs which do not become a final part of the
installation, but which are required for the orderly completion of
the installation and may include, but are not limited to, field
administration, direct supervision, capital tools, start-up costs,
contractor's fees, insurance, taxes, etc.
In manufacturing, costs not directly assignable to the end
product or process, such as overhead and general purpose labor,
or costs of outside operations, such as transportation and
distribution. Indirect manufacturing cost sometimes includes
insurance, property taxes, maintenance, depreciation, packaging,
warehousing and loading.
61

Accuracy is the degree to which a measurement or
calculation varies to its actual value
Precision is the degree to which a series of
calculated values show similar results
63
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Estimate accuracy is an indication of the degree to which
the final actual cost outcome for a given project varies
from its estimated cost
Every estimate is a “prediction” of the expected final cost
of a project for a given scope of work
Every estimate is associated with uncertainty, and
therefore is also associated with a probability of
overrunning or underrunning the predicted cost
64
www.costengineering.eu

Available information/Scope:
Construction site data
Design information
Detail information
etc.
65
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
An estimate should never be regarded as a single point
number (or cost)
An estimate is a range of potential cost outcomes, and
associated probabilities of occurrence
Thus – the accuracy range of an estimate is a probabilistic
assessment of how far a project’s final actual cost can be
expected to vary from the estimate
• The range is driven by uncertainty
66
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Estimate Accuracy is traditionally expressed as a +/-
percentage around the point or base estimate with a
stated confidence that the actual cost will fall within this
range
• +/- measures are merely a useful simplification given that
individual projects will have unique frequency distributions
of outcomes
Always ask whether the +/- % range is:
• applied to the point or base estimate (before contingency) ?
• total or reference estimate (including contingency)?
68
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
The funds which are added to the point estimate to
achieve a given probability of not overrunning the estimate
(given relative stability of the project scope and the
assumptions upon which the estimate is based)
In essence, contingency is an amount of funds to reduce
the chances of overrunning the point estimate to an
acceptable level of risk
• The difference between the selected funding value and
the point estimate is the amount of contingency
• Management must determine the “level”
Does not include Escalation
69
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Most misunderstood element in an estimate
An amount used to deal with uncertainties
Required because estimating is not an exact science
Its purpose is to improve the accuracy of project
evaluations
Not to improve the accuracy of an estimate
70
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Typically contingency does not include:
Significant changes in scope
Major unexpected work stoppages (strikes, etc.)
Disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.)
Excessive, unexpected inflation
Excessive, unexpected currency fluctuations

www.costengineering.eu
Table shows a cumulative probability distribution table produced by a typical
risk analysis model. In this example, the original point estimate (before
contingency) is $23.3 million. The point estimate of $23.3M results in a 20
percent probability of not exceeding this value.
If we wanted to achieve a
50 percent probability of
underrun, we would need
to fund the project at $25.4M.
This would mean adding a
contingency amount of $2.1M
in the estimate.
74
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
www.costengineering.eu
Contingency does not increase the overall accuracy of the estimate
Contingency reduces the level of risk associated with the estimate
Risk analysis identifies specific project areas associated with risk and
opportunity

of equipment, material, labor, etc. over the costs
specified in the contract, due to continuing price-
level changes over time.
Escalation has the same effect on project costs as
interest does on the value of a savings account –
each year becomes a new base for calculating
escalation for the following year.
Escalation is compounded for multiple years.

Example: Item costs $1 today, inflation rate of
5%/year for next five years, what will item cost five
years from now?
$1 X 1.05 X 1.05 X 1.05 X 1.05 X 1.05 = 1.28
C1 X (1 + i)n = C2
$1 X (1 + .05)5 = 1.28

Example: Project estimated to cost $10M in 2012
dollars, inflation rate = 5% each year.
Cash flow is projected as:
• In 2014: $1,000,000 (2 years escalation)
• In 2015: $6,000,000 (3 years escalation)
• In 2016: $3,000,000 (4 years escalation)
Calculate escalation!

Calculation of Previous Example
2014 = $1M X ((1.05)2 – 1) = $102,500
2015 = $6M X ((1.05)3 – 1) = $945,750
2016 = $3M X ((1.05)4 – 1) = $646,519
Total escalation costs = $1,694,769

Birth of the Cost Engineer
Merchants should seek advise from engineers
Engineers often see their designs too optimistic
The merchants protect themselves by cost experts, and
than it all went a bit wrong!
• medical disabled technicians became Cost Engineers
• technologists saw the Cost Engineers as spoilers
• Cost Engineers could shoot the technologists
• the Cost Engineer is the only engineer who knows that the
outcome of his calculations will be wrong

Biggest overrun I have ever
seen Chevron Gorgon:
Original Budget: $US37b
Last Cost Estimate: $US54b
Overrun: $US17b or 45%
Complex projects with budgets greater than $500 million
have a much higher failure rate than their more
straightforward counterparts. In some sectors, up to 75% of
complex projects fail: that is, they exceed their original
budgeted cost or schedule by 25%. This represents a vastly
inadequate return on billions of dollars of investment for
both private enterprise and taxpayers.
Projects fail for many reasons. These include: lack of communication among
stakeholders and participants; critical skills and knowledge gaps for key
personnel; poor conceptual planning; insufficient implementation of project
controls and risk management; and the ineffective transfer of lessons learnt
between similar projects. To increase the success rate of complex projects,
these issues need to be addressed across the whole industry.

The Cost Engineer is accountable for the quality
the consistency, and the timeliness of the
products resulting from the responsibilities.
These products are primarily the following:
Estimates, plans, schedules, budgets and project
status report.
The quality, consistency and timeliness are
usually formalised in work processes and
procedures
