o Project management cost and other costs;
o Contingency cost.

• Preparation of construction total cost estimation as follows:

o Construction cost,
o Equipment cost,
o Other costs are included in construction cost and contingency cost,
o Project management cost and other costs.

• Preparation of construction cost estimation as follows:

o Construction cost;
o Equipment cost;
