Unit Cost Estimate


Above: Unit Cost Estimate with qty 1


Above: Unit Cost Estimate with qty added

The process to create the unit cost estimate was quite similar to the assembly cost estimate, except that instead of whole assemblies being used, each component of the project was quantified. For example, instead of just listing "concrete perimeter footing", the assembly was broken down into components such as chairs, excavation, reinforcing, etc.

Similar to the assembly cost estimate, I selected multiple options for each unit and decided which worked the best once I had exported to Excel. I also had to manipulate some of the costs based on slightly different sizes available on RS Means.
