Q:

Iam looking to estimate the cost on a project, but I don't want to spend a lot of time on a  detailed analysis. I really want a ballpark figure. What options do I have?

A) None - Cost estimating requires details to be accurate B) Use the cost of similar projects
C) Use a rule-of-thumb or per-square-foot estimate D) Add up the costs on the WBS
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Use the cost of similar projects

Explanation:

Although it is less accurate than adding up individual costs from the WBS, it is less time consuming. The trade-off is accuracy. Answer A is incorrect because to do a more accurate cost estimate, you need to delve into details. Answer C is tempting also, and possible, except we don't really know if the project in question can use perametric modeling . Answer D is incorrect because it takes the most time, but it is most accurate.

C) Beipanjiang Bridge D) Puli Bridge
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Beipanjiang Bridge

Three years in the making, it's estimated to have cost the Chinese government around 1 billion yuan (or US$144 million).The bridge is going to cut travel times between Liupanshui in the Guizhou province and Xuanwei in the Yunnan province to two hours instead of the current five – as long as you don't mind the heights.The bridge crosses the the Nizhu river, and to give you some idea of the size of the drop down to the water below, it's almost 2 Eiffel Towers or one-and-a-half Empire State Buildings.
