Calculate Home Construction Costs – Use a Project Estimator Spreadsheet
As a home construction estimator you need to use a spreadsheet to assist you in the estimation of your project. A good estimate spreadsheet can help you get the same information that a professional surveyor can give you, without the additional costs of the surveyor’s services. A good estimator will make use of a surveyor’s spreadsheet as a basis for his or her home construction estimations and then let you input the project dimensions and details to create the needed spreadsheet.
The main differences between an estimator’s spreadsheet and a surveyor’s spreadsheet are the information that is allowed on the sheet. An estimator needs to know, at a minimum, the total height and width of the building to be measured, the sum of the main foundation walls, the floors in each floor, the height of all the roofs, the length of all the studs in the first level, the depth of all the studs in the second level, the overall area of all the rooms, the height of all the walls, the perimeter of all the exterior walls, the roof plan, the area of the garage, and any other pertinent information that is required to help the estimator come up with an accurate estimate. All this information must be readily available for the estimator to provide the project dimensions. The surveyor, on the other hand, will need to make use of a much larger spreadsheet or perhaps the results of a computerized model grid to come up with these dimensions.
It is also important to provide the house plans with dimensions. In many cases, the house plans, as well as any pertinent house plans and floor plans for the home’s adjacent properties, will have measurements for the plan to allow the home construction estimator to create the needed spreadsheet. Without this information, it will be very difficult for the estimator to perform a very important part of the project, which is to come up with a complete and accurate project estimate.
The Estimator, on the other hand, will only need to know the project dimensions and the house plans with dimensions, because the estimator will let you input the necessary information into the spreadsheet. It is then up to you to make all the necessary corrections to the spreadsheet as needed.
It is very important to make use of a spreadsheet estimator when estimating the costs of a project. If a project is estimated by one person, and the estimation turns out to be erroneous, the project may be wasted. When estimating a home construction project, it is not uncommon for the estimator to provide a small error in the estimate, because the estimates used by the estimator can be completely off. By including the details of the estimator’s estimate in the appropriate cells, it is possible to correct the errors in the estimate spreadsheet, thereby correcting the entire project.
Before starting the estimate, it is important to set up the spreadsheet before beginning the project. This will enable the estimator to input the required data, because, if there are any incorrect data entered, it will be very difficult to go back and fix the values later.
