A practical example of home remodelling cost estimate: steps to follow, categories and items to use<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this article we\u2019ll be taking a look at how to produce a home remodelling cost estimate<\/strong> (see previous article<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

We will follow all the steps of the process to create some guidelines, although we will not be able to integrate some of the categories typical of building interventions (new construction, renovation, maintenance, etc.).<\/p>\n

The article will also provide the 3D model of the estimated renovation project\u00a0<\/strong><\/a> and the link to download the 30-day free trial version of the software used to genarate the model<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"How

Construction estimating<\/h2>\n

The bill of quantities<\/strong><\/a> is the document by which it is possible to estimate the cost <\/strong>of a construction project or for its maintenance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its use is widespread in private works, as a document for the regulation of the relationship between client and contractor, as well as in public works.<\/p>\n

The bill of quantities is fundamental for:<\/p>\n

  1. obtaining the construction estimate <\/strong>of a building project and correctly plan the client’s financial flows<\/strong>;<\/li>\n
  2. requesting a proposal<\/strong> \u00a0and inviting interested companies to place a bid<\/strong> for the construction works;<\/li>\n
  3. having control<\/strong> over the applicable processes;<\/li>\n
  4. having a reference for the calculation of the professional fee<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition, it is also useful for a company to determine the construction site cost management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Preparing a bill of quantities for an apartment renovation <\/strong><\/h2>\n

    After the renovation project has been generated (an apartment project in our case), you can proceed to draw up the bill of quantities. For such purpose, we identify the price list with reference items.<\/p>\n

    \"How

     <\/p>\n

    For example, you could use both various national price lists and even price lists for private works that are specific for building renovations.<\/p>\n

    Distinctive elements of a bill of quantities are:<\/p>\n
