Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bottom-up estimating involves breaking down the work into detailed pieces and estimating each of them individually before aggregating the estimates into a total quantity for the project. This provides a more accurate estimate as each component of the work is considered in detail. Piece meal pricing is a pricing strategy and not an estimating technique. Decomposition estimating and grass roots estimating are not commonly used terms in project management.
