ABSTRACT
Introduction The estimating team will consider construction methods and employ planning techniques to:
1. Highlight any critical or unusual activities; 2. Examine alternative sequences and phasing requirements; 3. Calculate optimum durations for temporary works and plant; 4. Reconcile the labour costs in the estimate with a programme showing resources; 5. Determine the general items and facilities priced in the site overheads workbook; 6. Check whether the time for completion is acceptable.
