Analogous estimating
Analogous estimating involves comparing a proposed project to a similar past project to estimate the duration or cost

Parametric estimating
Parametric estimating involves calculating our estimates based on industry benchmarks.
Top-Down (Macro)Parametric estimating
2500 ft2 costs $100,000 or $40 per ft2
Top-Down (Macro)Parametric estimating
Estimate for a 2000 ft2 House: $40.00 per ft2 X 2000 = $80,000

Learning Curves
The more times a task has been performed, the less time will be required on each subsequent iteration.

Function Point AnalysisA function point is the amount of functionality of an information system (as a product). Function points measure software size.

If one function point is an equivalent of eight hours of work in C++ language, then
our project will take (80*8)=640 hours
