About This Course
Every fitout project moves from concept to construction—and with that transition comes increasingly precise cost estimates. This course explores how design teams develop pre-tender cost estimates during each phase of the fitout process, from early lump sum calculations to itemised cost breakdowns ready for tendering.
You’ll learn how cost estimation evolves alongside the design, when to involve a quantity surveyor, how value engineering is applied, and what documentation is required to support itemised pricing. Whether part of the design team or acting as a third-party advisor, you’ll gain insight into how fitout budgets are built, refined, and communicated for successful tendering.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Understand how design phases relate to cost estimation levels.
- Identify the deliverables needed to support each cost estimate.
- Compare lump sum and itemised pre-tender budget approaches.
- Learn how and when to involve quantity surveyors.
- Discover how value engineering adjusts scope to meet budget.
- Explore how clients and project teams collaborate in budgeting workflows.
Topics Covered:
- Prepare Pre-Tender Cost Estimate
