What is a Preliminary Estimate?
A preliminary estimate, often referred to as a conceptual estimate or feasibility estimate, is an early-stage cost assessment used to gauge the viability of a construction project. It provides stakeholders with an initial understanding of potential costs based on project scope, scale, and high-level specifications.
