Mastering the Modern Cost Engine: An In-Depth Look at Skills and Knowledge of Cost Engineering, 6th Edition (Updated)

If you are studying for the CCP exam using the 5th Edition, you are studying for the wrong test.

  1. Adopt a standard estimating template and database.
  2. Use CPM-based schedules with resource-loaded costs.
  3. Implement basic EVM metrics on all major projects.
  4. Run Monte Carlo on high-cost/complex projects to size contingency.
  5. Document all assumptions and update estimates at major milestones.

Where to get the Legitimate Updated File

  1. Estimate (Ch. 3): Use the “Parametric Models for High-Tech Facilities” table to generate a Class 3 estimate for budget authorization.
  2. Risk (Ch. 6): Perform a Monte Carlo simulation (tutorial in the PDF appendix) to set the contingency at P80 (80% confidence).
  3. Control (Ch. 4): Implement an EVM system. When a supplier fails to deliver, you use the “Trend Analysis” worksheet (Figure 4.12 in the PDF) to forecast a final overrun of 12%.
  4. Ethics (Ch. 8): You report the overrun to the board immediately, avoiding a hidden loss, per the AACE code.

1. Cost Estimating: The Precision Evolution

  • Introduction to Cost Engineering: Definitions, the role of the cost engineer, and the relationship between cost engineering and other disciplines (project management, controls).
  • Total Cost Management (TCM): An overview of the TCM framework, which is AACE’s integrated methodology for managing assets and projects.
  • The Project Life Cycle: Understanding the phases of a project (conceptual, preliminary engineering, detailed engineering, construction/execution, operation/termination).
