Cost Estimates
Our clients occasionally ask us how we come up with the cost breakdowns in our estimates, and since we’ve just changed our process for that, we thought it might be an opportune time to explain how we arrive at them.
Estimating is an art, not a science, and honestly, a lot of the time, it really is just plucking a number that feels about right from the air. Yes, you’re guided by hard-won experience, but every project is different, and they’ve all got hidden pitfalls. Estimating is hard, and takes time and skill.
Until now, anyway. Now, the bright sparks at A Few Men Internet Solutions have come up with a typically brilliant idea that will revolutionise the business of providing time and cost estimates, making estimates both easier to produce, and much more accurate, so we’ve decided to switch over to using it. Now, instead of holding laborious planning meetings, trying to put hard and fast times and costs to vaguely understood requirements, we’re going to do something much simpler and easier, which should result in savings that we can pass along to our clients.
We’re going to ask a badger to do it.
