Valuers and estimators are the same thing, right?

When the design drawings are completed, before the project starts, based on the construction drawings, according to the budget quota issued by the state (or the regional unit valuation table prepared according to the budget quota), the overhead cost quota, the material budget, the planned profit, the tax calculation standard and other relevant provisions of the preparation of the project cost documents, called the construction drawing budget, do this work called the budgeter.

When the project is completed, based on the as-built drawings, the same as the national regulations or the contract (the construction organization design is determined), and plus the project contact list and related to the project cost, and the owner and the construction unit confirm the content of the project cost for the project cost, as the cost of this work. Now the project generally needs to be tendered, and the personnel who make the economic bid in the bidding are also called cost personnel. In fact, there is no strict difference between the two, and the work done is basically the same, the budget and the cost are only different in time, and the qualification level of the personnel doing this work is also the same.

The project cost is the project budget. An appraiser is an appraiser and a budgeter is a budgeter, not the same thing.

Budgeters need to have strong professional knowledge in finance, economics, management, etc., be able to flexibly use the valuation and budgeting methods of various construction projects, and have high argumentation and coordination skills.

The cost engineer is a kind of technical personnel specializing in the cost management, evaluation and consulting of construction projects, mainly responsible for the analysis, evaluation and accounting of the cost of construction projects, providing engineering cost consulting, design suggestions and management suggestions, and having the ability to evaluate the cost of construction projects.

Cost engineers need to have an in-depth understanding of the supply and demand relationship of various materials for construction projects, master the professional knowledge of laws, regulations, national standards and industry norms involved in the project cost, and need to have good communication and coordination skills and team management ability.

The responsibilities of the estimator are more focused on the preparation and control of the project budget, while the responsibilities of the estimator are more focused on the management and evaluation of the cost of construction projects, and the two professions have different professional characteristics and responsibilities.
