Cost Estimation & Budget Control for Complex Projects
Providing accurate cost estimating for complex projects under a huge amount of uncertainty, lack of data, and all to be done within a very short time frame is a difficult task. It’s even tougher to manage costs and make sure it falls within budget. This is partially because project costs are guesstimates rather than fixed estimates. However in the current climate, costs need to be lean and meticulously controlled. We understand that this new era of project cost estimation puts a lot of pressure on your business.
Equip Global’s 4 day course on “Cost Estimation & Budget Control for Complex Projects” models all the critical elements of a complex project: how to get the project properly defined; how to try and ensure that requirements and design are complete and correct; how to factor in unknowns and uncertainties – risks, issues, change; what can be estimated when and how to produce estimates; how to manage the performance of the project so that it does come in close to the estimate. By using fit for purpose tools, techniques and approaches you will be able to operate with confidence within a complex project environment managing risks and costs to deliver value for your key stake holders and the business. You will learn how to develop techniques in your business ensuring high levels of confidence integrity and success from all parties.
