This webinar is important for the entire Project management team, particularly
- Contractors
- Cost Estimators
- Project Managers
- Project Controls Managers
- Planners and schedulers
- Other Project Management Team Members
This webinar focuses on important aspects of construction cost estimating that may differ from one country or location to another, so the contractor must pay attention to them, especially before taking on the project. This includes many aspects such as:
- Cost and availability of materials, labor, and equipment
- Laws and regulations
- Local weather and culture
- Currency and banking issues
- Logistics
- Other issues
Many contractors and cost estimators when performing in a different country or location are surprised by how much the rules, market, and other aspects can differ. This may change their entire work plan. So, it is better to pay attention to such issues before they even bid or negotiate a project.
