Rough Order Magnitude Estimate
The first estimate in a project’s lifecycle is called a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate. It is used to check the feasibility of a project and helps in making decisions about project selection and resource allocation. The accuracy range is typically -50% to +50%.
Budget Estimate
A budget estimate is created during the planning stage using data from past projects and early design plans. It breaks down the major project costs like materials and labor—into clear line items. With an accuracy range of –10% to +25%, it gives you a solid foundation for setting a realistic project budget.
Definitive Estimate
A definitive estimate (also called a detailed cost estimate) provides an itemized breakdown of every project component. Based on fully developed plans, it delivers high accuracy typically within –5% to +15% of the actual cost.
Ballpark Estimate
A ballpark estimate gives clients a quick cost overview based on preliminary drawings and specifications. Contractors use it to outline the scope of work, helping owners decide whether the project fits their budget. Its accuracy is usually within 20% of the actual cost.

How Our Preliminary Estimate Service Help?
With the use of the right tools, digital assistance, technical and expert knowledge we make sure of the accuracy.
A preliminary estimate (or conceptual estimate) is an early cost forecast used to check the feasibility of a project before detailed drawings are developed. It helps contractors, developers, builders, and owners make smart decisions about funding, budgeting, and design options.
Since these estimates are prepared at the start of a project, they rely on historical project data, adjusted for time, location, and size, along with engineering concepts.
Different types of preliminary estimates are used at various project stages, and their accuracy depends on the amount of information available from the clients. Our estimates can help you in boosting the initial cost to support in:
Allocate funds and negotiate with contractors/subcontractors
Plan upcoming project phases
Manage budgets and secure loans
Set cost limits for architects and designers
Estimate material and labor requirements

Frequently Asked Question
How do you proceed with a preliminary estimate?
We review the project first. Our estimators analyze the available information to understand the project scope and create an estimating plan. After that data is gathered. We collect cost data from similar past projects.
Next we adjust the cost. Costs are adjusted for time, location, size, and a contingency is added. Lastly, all specifications, assumptions, and adjustments are clearly detailed in the report.
What contributes to the right preliminary estimates?
When preparing a bill of materials using past project data, we apply assumptions and adjustments for time, location, type, and size: Costs are updated to match the project’s start date using a time index that accounts for inflation, labor rates, and material costs.
We use a location index to reflect regional differences in labor and material prices. Costs are scaled based on the building’s size and type compared to typical projects. Estimates consider the grade of materials (e.g., brick veneer, CMU, framed).
