Estimates never improve because nobody compares them to reality. This measures the gap by work type and by estimator, so the next estimate is corrected by evidence.
What's Included
- Estimated against actual on every completed piece of work.
- Accuracy by work type because the bias is rarely uniform.
- A correction factor derived from your own history.
- An assistant that suggests a realistic estimate.
How To Use
- Compare every completed job, not just the ones that went wrong.
- Break accuracy down by work type. The bias is rarely the same everywhere.
- Apply a correction factor from evidence rather than adding a round margin.
- Share the results. Estimating improves fastest when people see the pattern.
Feed the estimates from the labour cost estimator, and the actuals from job time costing.
