Cost Engineering: Effective Estimation and Cost Control of Technical Projects
Why this Course
Project leaders and technical staff who are charged with delivering tangible results in their areas of responsibility require objective cost assessments for funding and control decisions on an ongoing basis. The business purpose of the cost engineering function is to provide these assessments early and reliably, so that better decisions may be made.
This seminar examines the key concepts of cost engineering including estimating, risk analysis, cost control, scheduling and change management to achieve best value for investments and expenditures. It provides methodologies, procedures and tools (e.g. tables, forms) to do the work, along with hands-on experience on their use. Participants will be in a position to use these tools and procedures starting immediately to meet success criteria of current activities.
The Goal
To provide an understanding of the key concepts of cost engineering and where/how they should be applied. To provide proven, effective cost estimating and control methods. To enable participants to prepare estimates and assess/mitigate risk by utilising appropriate sources, and to use these data plus forecasting techniques for cost control.
