Estimating forms part of tendering. It involves estimating deals by reviewing contract documents and making sure all technical specifications have been considered and included in the final price. Quotes are requested from suppliers and subcontractors; quantities are then taken off drawings by experienced quantity surveyors. The estimators then use the correct input cost and expected productivity rates to build a comprehensive price inclusive of risk and margin. The tendering team submits the final estimated price, considering the commercial and project specifications such as resource consents. The final product, called the tender, is submitted by the tendering team to the client as an offer or quotation.
