The Estimator is responsible for ensuring the quality and accuracy of a cost estimate. A cost estimate is a quantified expectation of how many resources are required to complete a capital project in a certain currency. The cost estimate is a key input into the financial model which helps inform the decision makers on whether to proceed with a project.

When changes do arise, upon agreement from the Contracts Manager, these should be clearly documented throughout the life cycle of the project.
