PREFACE
Long has been the need for a manual on conceptual cost estimating that allows the construction industry and the engineering/management staff of chemical, refin-ery, and industrial plants to arrive at a reasonable cost for a specified facility. Sim-ply to rely on past records and say that a certain type plant will cost ten dollars per pound produced, and the product can be sold for fifteen dollars per pound, by no means justifies the construction cost of the plant. Management of all organizations concerned demands more reasoning and is certainly within its rights to do so.
When a project is in its planning and evaluating stages, the cost of a complete design and definitive estimate would be, in most cases, too great to justify the design and estimate. Therefore, it becomes apparent that a less expensive method is needed to determine the feasibility of the plant in mind. By using a very moder-ate flow sheet design, specifications, and/or equipment lists, by properly applying man-hours, dollars, percentage values (as are shown throughout this manual in graph and table form), and construction indexes, and by considering other items outlined in the Introduction, a total cost very close to the as-built cost of a com-plete plant should be obtainable for any location in the world.
The Human Factor in Estimating
In this high-tech world of sophisticated software packages, including several for labor and cost estimating, you might wonder what an estimating manual offers that a computer program does not. The answer is the human factor. In preparing a com-plete estimate for a refinery, petrochemical, or other heavy industrial project one often confronts 12-18 major accounts, and each account has 5-100 or more sub-accounts, depending on the project and its engineering design. While it would seem that such numerous variables provide the perfect opportunity for computerized algorithmic solution, accurate, cost-effective, realistic estimating is still largely a function of human insight and expertise. Each project has unique aspects that still require the seasoned consideration of an experienced professional, such as gener-al economy, projects supervision, labor relations, job conditions, construction equipment, and weather, to name a few.
Computers are wonderful tools. They can solve problems as no human can, but I do not believe construction estimating is their forte. I have reviewed several con-struction estimating software packages and have yet to find one that I would com-pletely rely on. Construction estimating is an art, a science, and a craft, and I rec-ommend that it be done by those who understand and appreciate all three of these facets. This manual is intended for those individuals.
INTRODUCTION
This manual contains two methods of conceptual estimating for determining the bud-get amount or estimated cost to design and construct refineries, chemical/petrochemi-cal, and some other types of industrial plants.
Method one, when properly applied, produces a semi-definitive conceptual estimate with an accuracy of ±10%.
Method two uses conceptual ratio estimating, and based on the known equipment material dollar value and the application of weighted percentage costs for all other items, it produces an estimate with an accuracy of ±30%.
The information required and procedures to follow for using these two methods of estimating are defined later in this introduction.
All equipment and material dollar graph and tables throughout this manual are based on average cost as of January 1,1996.
Due to the ever-changing economic conditions, the use of what is known throughout the industry as indices must be considered and applied against all equipment and mate-rial graphs and tables. This will result in a more realistic equipment and matemate-rial value for a project to be designed and constructed at some future date. Indices are simply numbers for a time frame indicating a percentage of change in regard to a relative cost of a base time frame. There have been many pro and con discussions as to the use of indices; however, they are still the only means for achieving an acceptable estimate where limited information and time are available.
There are several indices from which one might choose. I favor the Nelson Refinery (Inflation) Index, which appears in the first weekly edition of each month in the Oil and
Gas Journal. The engineer/estimator may wish to use other indices that he is more
familiar with and has more confidence in. Should this be the case, it is to be recognized that as far as this manual is concerned January 1, 1996 is equal to 100.
All labor manhour graphs and tables are based on an average productivity of 70%. The engineer/estimator must determine the labor productivity he feels he can achieve for each project and may acjjust the graph and table manhours as may be required. Major items that one should consider in determining productivity are:
1. General Economy 2. Project Supervision 3. Labor Relations 4. Job Conditions 5. Construction Equipment 6. Weather
In determining the dollar rate to apply against the estimated manhours the engi-neer/estimator should first establish weighted composite crew rates. This is simply the listing by craft of the various personnel required for a crew—such as general foreman, foreman, craftsmen, and apprentices/helpers—and the weighted percentage of their time that will be devoted to the crew. The weighted percentage of each classification multiplied by the hourly rate for that classification will result in the weighted hourly rate for each. The sum of all weighted rates will equal the composite crew hourly rate. The total percent of all crew personnel is to equal 100. Using the composite crews and rates, activity crews and rates are to be formed. List the composite crew rates and the weight-ed percent of time each crew will be devotweight-ed to the activity. The weightweight-ed percent of each composite crew multiplied by the weighted composite crew rate will result in the weighted hourly activity rate for that crew. The sum of all weighted crew rates for the activity will equal the hourly weighted activity rate. The total percent of all composite crew personnel is to equal 100. See Section One for description of disciplines of work to determine activity crew personnel needed.
All manhour tables and graphs include the total manhours, based on 70% productivi-ty, to complete the unit of work as listed.
All equipment and material dollar graphs and tables are based on cost as of January 1, 1996, and include the total unit equipment or material cost as outlined.
All graphs and tables that reflect shop fabrication, packaged units, and subcontract-ed items include the total cost of labor, material, overhead and profit of the supplier, and vendor or subcontractor.
If the project under consideration is to be located in an area outside the continental forty-eight states, the engineer/estimator must consider other items not covered in this manual. Additives for any or all of the following items may be required and since their costs vary widely for different parts of the world, they must be researched individually for each foreign project.
1. Mobilization and demobilization of personnel and equipment 2. Foreign differential labor pay
3. Permits, licenses, fees, duties
4. Load out, tie down and material handling 5. Transportation and ocean or air freight
6. Camp, family quarters, field office, and storage facilities 7. Rest and recreation for personnel
Method One—Accuracy Level of ±10%
A method one, semi-definitive conceptual estimate is defined as one that will produce major discipline quantities, manhours and labor, material, subcontract and total dollars for their cost. As an example, using concrete as a major discipline of work, and apply-ing this method, the total cubic yards of concrete for equipment foundations would be the result. Based on the total cubic yards of concrete, all inclusive of foundation earth-work, forms, reinforcing steel, embedments, finishing, etc., the total manhours and cost would be achieved. With the overall results of all major disciplines of work the project can be scheduled and fast-track cost-controlled until such time as a total definitive esti-mate is available.
To achieve a degree of accuracy of ±10% the following information will be required. 1. Plant capacity, product form, basic process, and raw material
2. Total general specifications 3. Plant location (site conditions)
4. Preliminary soils report with foundation recommendations 5. Plot plan and equipment arrangements.
6. P. & I.D.'s. (mechanical flow sheets) 7. Equipment list
8. Buildings listing type, size, and description
This same type estimate can be assembled with far less information than that listed above but the degree of accuracy, in all probability would be less than that stated.
Method Two—Accuracy Level of ±30%
A method two, ratio conceptual estimate is defined as one that is based on the known total process equipment material cost and that applies weighted percentages against that cost to achieve the cost of all other major disciplines of work.
Once the cost of all major disciplines of work has been established, quantities and manhours can be achieved by dividing the material dollars by the pre-established unit dollar rate, as outlined in the graphs and tables, and the labor dollars by a pre-estab-lished composite activity rate.
With the established quantities and manhours the project can be scheduled and fast-track cost-controlled until such time as a more definitive type estimate is available.
To achieve a degree of accuracy of ±30%, the following information will be required. 1. Plant capacity, product form, basic process, and raw material
2. Knowledge of general specifications 3. Plant location (site conditions) 4. Equipment list (priced out)
In assembling a method one or two estimate it should be recognized that in the round-ing off and averaground-ing of material and labor cost and the application of average indices, a certain degree of accuracy is lost insofar as the individual item costs are concerned. However, it is believed that the overall estimate is not seriously affected by this because the items tend to average each other out.
I sincerely hope the foregoing will enable the engineer/estimator engaged in this type work to turn out more realistic conceptual estimates and assist in the elimination of much guesswork.

Section 2
PROCESS EQUIPMENT
The most important component of physical plant cost is that of process equipment. From it the prime basis can be formed for the estimation of the entire plant.
Once the production rate has been established and a rough flow sheet presented, an equipment list can be compiled noting the type, size, capac-ity and material of construction. From the logarithmic graphs that appear on the following pages, an average cost of equipment material and instal-lation manhours can be computed.
Inasmuch as it is not practical within the scope of this manual to ade-quately describe each piece of equipment beyond the very minor descrip-tion as appears on the individual graphs, I rely on the estimator's ability to realize that the items covered are of a standard nature for chemical plants, refineries, and industrial plants.
All installation manhours include offloading equipment at job site, haul-ing up to 2,000 feet and rigghaul-ing, pickhaul-ing, setthaul-ing, and alignhaul-ing of the equipment.
The equipment graphs include the total cost of the equipment, but do not include structural steel or miscellaneous iron such as supports, lad-ders, walkways, platforms, or handrails. See other sections for these items.
AU shop fabricated equipment graphs, as in the case of vessels, include the total shop cost, overhead, and profit for fabricating and furnishing of all material and components required for that piece of equipment.
Packaged unit graphs include the total skid-mounted cost of the equip-ment and piping, electrical components and instruequip-mentation, which may be an integral part of the package.
Sub-contract equipment graphs include the total sub-contractors cost and profit for the furnishing and installing of the equipment.
All equipment graphs include an average allowance for freight cost within the continental forty-eight states.
I caution the engineer/estimator to be thoroughly familiar with the in-troduction to this manual before applying this information.
