Project Cost Estimator can be used to create preliminary infrastructure project cost estimates and quickly update project costs as needs change.
Many infrastructure organizations are facing increased austerity and wise resource decisions are paramount. Effective project cost estimation in early-stage project planning is essential for utilities and public works organizations aiming to optimize their budgets and enhance project delivery.
Using a map-based system for project cost estimation with asset information from a system of record allows organizations to quickly sketch potential project work and generate cost estimates. Maps also improve situational awareness and help staff review, evaluate, and refine project information during planning phases. Furthermore, the ability to dynamically update preliminary project costs as needs shift, material and labor rates fluctuate, and budgets change increases agility and helps an organization maximize limited capital budgets.
