Estimating times and costs for engineering projects is essential to a company's success. Underestimate often enough and your company goes broke. And overestimating sends business to competitors. The difficulty in estimating a design job is partially due to CAD programs. "CAD is a huge multiplier of all the good and bad that engineers do, so the difference between estimated and actual time has the potential to be greater than ever before," says Stephen Samuel, president of Design Visionaries Inc., a product-design firm and CAD software reseller and trainer. He adds that the estimating problem is exacerbated because many people who quote jobs are not necessarily experienced CAD users.

To solve the problem, Samuel's team created the Design Project Estimation Tool (DPET). He says it captures his company's experience and the critical factors related to CAD that determine project schedules.

Users register to receive a password that gives access to the estimator. The software consists of about five input windows, each of which is fairly self-explanatory. The first screen deals with variables such as a single user's skill level. Samuel suggests that estimators know what work will be performed by beginners (slow users), those of average skill, and experts. The calculator is intended to account for the project work of a homogenous staff (all mechanical or electrical) with differences in skill level as accounted for in the first input section. But it seems you could run the calculator once for each skill group. The separate totals would be combined for the aggregate project time.
