The project manual contains all the contractual and technical specifications for a construction project, including instructions for bidding, contract forms, general and supplementary conditions, specifications for materials and workmanship organized by CSI divisions, and any alternates or addenda. The contractor is responsible for thoroughly reading the entire project manual along with the drawings to understand bonding and insurance requirements, quality standards, and all other contractual obligations for the project. The CSI format standardizes how specifications are organized across different sections and divisions for materials, systems, and workmanship.

This above data is related with Sheet Metal fabricated product line.I have elaborated basic difference between Estimation & Costing with strategy for getting best pricing & calculations involved in Actual Spending.
I will describe those things in the documents--
Types of Cost Estimates Used in Construction
Following are the different types of cost estimates used in construction,
Preliminary Cost Estimate
Plinth Area Cost Estimate
Cube Rate Cost Estimate
Approximate Quantity Method Cost Estimate
Detailed Cost Estimate
Revised Cost Estimate
Supplementary Cost Estimate
Annual Repair Cost Estimate
In this presentation, the process of building construction is explained. It is mainly divided into pre-construction and during construction steps. Each and every step with it's importance has been well explained in this presentation.
Estimating is a complex process involving collection of available and pertinent information relating to the scope of a project, expected resource consumption, and future changes in resource costs. This process is required in all stages of the project life-cycle.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. Project Manual
• Project manual , often referred to as the specifications, is a
document that accompanies the drawings and includes
information on how to bid the project, the contractual
obligations of the successful contractor, and the specifications
for the materials used in the construction
• However, the term “project manual” is being used here, when
referring to the complete written document or a set of
documents that accompanies the plans whereas the term
“specifications” is used when referring to the material or
technical specifications (plans, contract documents and
technical specifications)
3. Project Manual
• The contractor is responsible for everything
contained in the project manual and what is covered
on the drawings
• There is tendency that the estimators just skim
through the project manual. Skimming the project
manual is risky and should be read thoroughly along
with the drawings as it contains items ranging from
the type of bonds and insurance required to the
type, quality, and colour of materials used on the job
4. Project Manual

– General conditions of contract
– Supplementary general conditions
– Specifications (technical specifications)
5. Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)
• It has developed a standard format for organising the specifications
known as the master format
• It sets standards for project manual and technical specifications
• Before 2004 the Master Format consisted of 17 divisions (0 through
16)
• In 2004 it was revised to include 50 divisions (0 through 49)
• For example division 3 covers Concrete (Precast
concrete, Grouting, Mass concrete)
