Does anybody know which is a good source for Cost Estimate (Section 5)?

I have Problem Seeking but it is not really focused on cost estimating.

Thanks

Hi @mingo.draft ,

Another candidate awhile back had a similar question! I know the AHPP touches on cost estimating, but doesn’t go into a lot of depth.

Check out this thread to see if helps answer your question:

> [@Cost Estimating Question](https://community.blackspectacles.com/t/cost-estimating-question/2642):
>
> I’m struggling to find clear definitions for the various cost estimating methods. Can someone please provide definitions or a free resource for clarity on this topic. More specifically, Assembly method, comparison method, area method, unit price method, etc. I believe Mike Newman touched on this during one of his videos lecture and I wasn’t able to locate it. I also tried to find this topic in the AHPP without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Let me know if this isn’t what you were looking for or if you have any other questions!

-Darion
