SUMMARY
Cost
engineering
as
a
discipline
covers
the
areas
of
cost
estimation,
cost
control,
and
profitability.
In
this
text,
we
will
be
concentrating
on
cost
estimating
and
cost
control.
CEs
should
be
involved
in
all
phases
of
a
project
life
cycle,
from
initial
planning
and
evaluation
to
the
start-up
of
the
plant
after
construc-
tion.
An
estimate
is
a
prediction
of
the
manner
in
which
a
project
will
be
executed.
The
single
largest
potential
for
variation
in
an
early
estimate
is
the
design
and
execution
basis.
Finalizing
the
design
and
execution
basis,
con-
sequently,
has
a
dramatic
effect
on
estimate
accuracy.
There
are
owner
or
client
CEs,
and
there
are
contractor
CEs,
with
some-
what
different
roles
to
play
but
the
same
end
purpose:
completing
a
project
for
the
lowest
possible
cost
consistent
with
the
overall
pro-
ject
objectives.
A
major
responsibility
or
the
CE
is
to
ensure
that
the
requirements
of
the
three
D’s—Definition,
Documentation,
and
Discipline—are
being
met.
