Cost estimating is one of the most important steps in project management. Cost estimation establishes the baseline of the predicted project cost at different stages of development of the project. This lab manual intends to introduce the students with the estimation of moderate-size structures, i.e., residential building, culvert, underground water reservoir, retaining wall as well as estimation for excavation. The examples are imaginary structures, but the basic process of the calculations will pave the way to estimate real structures.  \nThe authors are highly indebted to their colleagues for their constant support and guidance during the course of preparing this manual. In addition, estimation concepts were taken from Estimating Building Costs for the Residential and Light Commercial Construction Professional, by Wayne J. el. Pico, Estimating for Residential Construction by David Pratt. Besides, practical estimating aspects were studied from Consultants Estimating Manual, Division of Capital Asset Management, Commonwealth of Massachusetts (2006), while the pictures, where referenced, were collected from the internet.  \nPrepared By  \nDr. Debasish Sen Rashedul Kabir  \nNafis Anwari  \nMd.
