Estimating Costs-Resources

http://www.bidshop.org/



The first link is a link to help with construction costs. This one is helpful to people like myself that want to do home improvements. I also believe that it could be used professionally to “ball park” some projects with construction. According to our resources this week and last, finding and planning effectively can help projects run smoother (Portny, 2008). If you are well informed, you will be able to make better budgets, timelines, and keep the project moving.

The next link is actually a brochure or packet. There are several examples of cost estimation and how to effectively make a good budget. There is also a great responsibility chart that breaks down a project. It was a good help when I created my allocation chart. According to Stolovitch (2010) the more organized the planning is the better the flow will be. If you design a project with harsh pivot points, when problems come up they can strangle the project. You have be flexible and have as many resources as possible to help solve the problems that will come up.
