7. The various stages of cost planning during
the design & construction phases
Preliminary Estimate

Cost Check
Tender Reconcilation
Post-Contract Cost Control
Using a single-price method of
estimating
Based upon elemental analysis evolving
cost target
Evaluating the design in term of the
cost target
Comparison of the accepted tender with
the final cost plan
The control of cost during construction
