Type of Estimate	Definition
Preliminary Estimate	It is an approximate estimate and prepared by the owner itself before the actual award of work to any agency.
Cube Rate Estimate	It is an approximate estimate and prepared by calculating the cubical content of a building by multiplying its length, breadth, and height.
Detailed Estimate	It is the accurate estimate prepared by working out quantities of each item of work. It is prepared in two stages: 1. Details of measurements and calculation of quantities and 2. Abstract of Estimate.
Revised Estimate	It is prepared when the original sanctioned estimate is likely to exceed more than 5%.
Supplementary Estimate	It is the freshly detailed estimate of the additional works in addition to the original estimate. It is required when further development is required during the progress of work.
