The construction part of my company does not fall under me for project management but they are looking for a good pre-construction estimating tool. Currently they have not found anything that lets them high level budget and then put in the more detailed pieces later. Any input would be appreciated.

We do our own template for Pre-Construction Estimating and we base our estimate on our data base by comparing to similar projects and then we refine our estimates when more information is available. Saving Changes...

If you have a clear definition of the requirements:
try to estimate bottom-up
Else If you have got enough historical data:
try Rami's way, that's analogous estimating
Else If you have experienced people:
try to use their expertise, that's expert judgment
Else:
try to get more information internal/external
End If
Try to estimate several ways and analyze the difference. Saving Changes...

Thanks for the responses and I apologize for my late reply. My construction teams already have their own templates created and plenty of historical data, they were just hoping to find some application that might be able to help. Saving Changes...
