dear amit,
trust us on this one
thats exactly why estimators have gainful full time employment.
if it was as easy as you ask, they would have no job.
would you hand over all the knowledge of your job so you could become
unemployed?
besides you have to seriously question the value and accuracy of data given
to you in the way you ask.
Estimating is a serious skill and many serious decisions are based upon it.
If you are trying to cut so many corners what value is the attempt you are
making going to have.
Theres no harm in building your own knowledge base of costing, but dont
pretend its any more than that when you are starting from scratch.
For one thing it changes constantly and only a professional estimator is up
with the play
In the long run you will save money by letting a skilled estimator do it.
this is from experience, Paul knows our recent case.
I've seen many botched estimates and they just cause grief.

Subject: [PipingDesign] Cost Estimation
Hello all,
I am getting problems in calculating cost for Pipes,
Pipe fittings, flanges valves etcs.. I dont have data
of rates for many items ..As sending querries to
related manufacturing companies for many different
components with diff materials is very tedious and
reply are also not so quick. Can anybody put some
light for getting tentative rates from any internet
sites or some other source so that the estimation
process could be fast
Regards,
Amit
