RE: Estimating - Project Management

[John Irwin]

Thanks John. Yes, it's not necessarily a budget I would always use. For smaller 
projects our project management is really by committee. Designer/Superintendent 
do the heavy lifting here. However for larger projects much more time is needed 
for good PM work and I would like a small bucket of money in my budget to pull 
from.

John:

There is no good or bad answer to this question. It's more a question of 
circumstance and what works for your company.
Would this be a competitive bid project or private negotiated?
If Competitive bid, is project management a 
spec requirement?

For me, there was always a "factor" determined by the type of project, 
ie...hospital, retail store, warehouse and so on. I even have a factor for the 
individual GC.
Of course that factor came from hard earned experience. I'm not sure if that 
was your question or not... but I hope it spurs some discussion.

Job costed or Overhead? What's your preference?

If it's Job Costed, what do you base your estimate for project management on? 
Percentage of job value? Design labor? Field Labor?

I'm pretty anal retentive when it comes to estimating real costs on a project. 
I find it makes for easier PM during the course of a job.
