Purpose
This multi-Service publication establishes uniform guidance to describe common methods, procedures, formats, and technical data for the preparation of construction project estimates for general engineering and contingency construction projects performed by military engineer units.
Scope
This unclassified publication provides technical reference information and data used to estimate construction projects performed by military engineer units. It provides information on estimating materiel quantities, equipment, and military labor requirements. It is designed for flexible application to projects of varying size, scope, and conditions. Estimates for materials, equipment, and labor are discussed in Chapters 2, 3, and 4. Data and information for these estimates are provided in Chapter 5. Contingency estimate factors not contained in Chapter 5 are provided in Appendix A.
Data, as illustrated in figures throughout this publication, provides information for creating estimates.
Applicability
This publication is intended for use by military engineer project crew leaders, but it is also useful to staff-level engineers serving as liaison officers and training and educational institutions. It applies to engineers, both active and reserve military and civilians from the United States Army (USA), United States Marine Corps (USMC), and United States Navy (USN).
