Confessions of a Cost Estimator: Rollercoaster Budgets: The Ups, Downs, and Loop-the-Loops of Infrastructure Spending #InfrastructureHumour #CostPlanning #BudgetQuest #InfrastructureAdventures #UnexpectedCosts #BudgetBuster Fasten your seatbelts, infrastructure enthusiasts, because we're about to embark on a wild ride – the rollercoaster of infrastructure budgets! Unlike your favourite theme park attraction, this ride is filled with unexpected twists, stomach-churning drops, and enough loop-the-loops to make even the most seasoned cost estimator feel a little green around the gills. Why do infrastructure budgets resemble a heart-stopping rollercoaster experience? Here's why you might need to grab a barf bag (figuratively speaking): The "Surprise Dip" After the Initial Climb: Budgets often start with a rosy outlook, then suddenly plunge as unforeseen factors like permitting delays emerge from the shadows. Think of it as the rollercoaster climbing to the peak, only to take a heart-stopping dip before the first loop. The "Change Order Chaos Car": Just as you think you've reached a smooth patch of track, a change order swoops in, throwing the budget into a frenzy. Imagine a rickety mine cart careening out of control, representing the financial mayhem caused by unexpected project modifications. The "Loop-the-Loop of Inflation": Persistent inflation acts like a relentless loop-the-loop, steadily eroding the purchasing power of your budget and leaving you feeling dizzy (and financially disoriented). The "Material Price Spike" Loop-the-Loop: Global market fluctuations can turn a steady climb in material costs into a stomach-churning loop-the-loop, leaving your budget feeling upside down and disoriented. But fear not, fellow infrastructure adventurers! We don't have to white-knuckle our way through this budgetary rollercoaster alone! Here's our survival kit: Early Collaboration: Bringing cost estimators into the planning process from the beginning allows for a more comprehensive understanding of potential challenges, giving us a roadmap of the twists and turns before we board the rollercoaster. Data-Driven Decisions: Historical data, market trends, and industry benchmarks are our trusty seatbelts, keeping us grounded in financial reality as the budget inevitably fluctuates. A certain amount of excitement (and maybe slight nausea) regarding infrastructure budgets is inevitable. But by using these strategies, we can transform the rollercoaster of infrastructure spending from a terrifying freefall into a thrilling, collaborative journey towards project success! What are your experiences with the "rollercoaster ride" of infrastructure budgets? Have you ever encountered a budgetary twist that left you feeling upside down? Share your stories (and any tips for keeping your project budgets from going off the rails) in the comments! #Infrastructure #CivilEngineering #LinkedIn #Estimation

When starting from scratch with ground-up construction, lacking prior facilities or operational data, we lean on third-party feasibility studies and internal underwriting. These assessments provide crucial insights for informed decision-making. They guide us through uncharted territory, ensuring our plans align with the site's potential and financial viability.

ORR has today opened an investigation into National Highways’ performance. The company has generally delivered well for road users, but since ORR's annual assessment performance has dipped in some areas. Feras Alshaker, Director, Planning & Performance, said: "National Highways has generally delivered well for road users, but in recent months we have become concerned that its performance has dipped in a number of areas and issues are recurring. “We are opening an investigation now to help ORR and National Highways achieve a common understanding of what is causing the current dip in performance, and whether it is still reasonable for us to expect the levels of performance set out in the second Road Investment Strategy. We can then put in place any appropriate measures before the end of this road period and set the company up for success in the next, delivering for road users and taxpayers.” ORR's investigation will look at the underlying causes: https://lnkd.in/e37DfW4Q
