A good estimate is one that appropriately considers the scope of work of the project; this helps reduce the chances of an unforeseen expense or risk that could delay the project. Estimators face many challenges because they must take into account the market conditions, project timeline, labor cost, material cost, and contingencies of the project when they are working on the construction estimate. A single mistake from their side can cause the project to go over budget, so staying up to date with the previous construction estimates is extremely important since the data can help the estimators with future references and help them find ways to improve and prevent unforeseen expenses. This research was collected from a journal to demonstrate the risk factors that impact a construction project estimate. The data was gathered from a questionnaire and then labeled on a chart to illustrate the impact the risk factor causes on the project cost and the risk factor's occurrence level.
