What's The Difference Between An Estimate And A Budget?

Cost Estimate and Budget Estimate are two different processes involving different procedures and both are essential for the complete construction planning process. The budget provides a complete overview of how much a project is estimated to cost including the complete project cost as well as the partial cost of each trade of the project scope. The budget should be within the available funds of the organization or stakeholders. On the other hand, cost estimates are the costs associated with the work packages within the project schedule. Cost estimates must include any assumptions made during the estimating process.
