摘要:
Excessive differences between estimated and actual costs can stem from either an inaccurate bid or a weak cost control system. The estimate might have contained takeoff errors or overly optimistic labor productivity assumptions. Or perhaps the estimate was accurately prepared but the contractor didn't monitor and control the project. One way of narrowing the gap is by using a microcomputer to improve estimating accuracy. Computers are able to store, sort, and retrieve large amounts of information about the contractor's jobs. The information from previous jobs then can be used to make better estimating assumptions about factors such as crew size and productivity. Microcomputers also can improve the cost control process.
