Overview
Understand the complete process of Project Cost Management from estimation to control., Create accurate cost estimates using bottom-up, top-down, parametric, and analogous methods., Prepare detailed project budgets and develop a cost baseline for monitoring, Calculate and apply key Earned Value Management (EVM) metrics such as PV, EV, AC, CPI, SPI, CV & SV., Track project performance using S-curves, cost reports, and variance analysis, Forecast project outcomes with EAC, ETC, and VAC formulas to identify cost overruns early., Use real-world techniques to monitor, report, and control project costs effectively, Develop professional skills required for project managers, planning engineers, and quantity surveyors.
Project Managers who want to strengthen cost planning and cost control skills. Planning Engineers looking to apply estimation, budgeting, and EVM in real projects. Civil Engineers & Construction Professionals responsible for project execution and cost monitoring. Quantity Surveyors who want to master cost estimation and financial tracking. Students & Fresh Graduates preparing for careers in project management or construction. Site Engineers & Supervisors who want to understand budgets, costs, and performance tracking. Freelancers & Consultants working on project planning, billing, or financial control. Anyone interested in Project Cost Management, regardless of experience level.
No prior experience in project cost management is required — beginners are welcome. Basic understanding of projects or construction work is helpful but not necessary. Ability to read simple project data such as quantities, timelines, or budgets. A laptop or mobile device to follow along with examples and templates. Interest in learning cost estimation, budgeting, and Earned Value Management (EVM). Optional: familiarity with Excel or project planning tools (not mandatory).
Managing project costs is one of the most critical skills for every project manager, engineer, planner, or construction professional. This course gives you a complete, practical, and industry-focused understanding of Cost Estimation, Budgeting, Cost Control, and Earned Value Management (EVM) so you can manage any project with confidence.
Inside this course, you will learn step-by-step techniques used by top companies to estimate project costs, prepare detailed budgets, forecast financial performance, and measure progress using real data. Whether you are handling construction projects, IT, infrastructure, or engineering works, this course will help you plan, monitor, and control project costs effectively.
You will understand all major cost management processes, the flow from estimation to budgeting, and how to apply EVM formulas to track schedule and cost performance. We use real examples, templates, and simplified explanations, making it easy even if you are a beginner.
By the end of the course, you will have the skills to:
Create accurate project cost estimates
Prepare project budgets and cost baselines
Track costs and control financial performance
Apply Earned Value Management (EVM) like a professional
Forecast project cost overruns before they happen
Use cost reports, S-curves, and performance indices (CPI, SPI, CV, SV)
This course is designed for:
Civil engineers
Project managers and coordinators
Planning engineers
Construction professionals
Quantity surveyors
Students preparing for PM roles
Anyone who wants to upgrade project cost management skills
No previous experience is required — everything is explained from basics to advanced level in a structured, easy-to-follow format.

FAISAL ATHAR
I am a Civil Engineer with 8 years of professional experience in the construction industry, focusing on Project Management, Estimation, Costing, and Billing. Throughout my career, I have successfully worked on residential, commercial, and large-scale infrastructure projects, handling complete project life cycles from planning to execution.
My core expertise lies in:
Primavera P6 & Microsoft Project for advanced project planning and scheduling
Preparing and managing Work Breakdown Structures (WBS)
Cost estimation, billing, and resource allocation
Performance monitoring through Earned Value Management (EVM)
Project progress tracking and reporting for stakeholders
Quantity Surveying - precise measurement, valuation, and documentation of construction works.
Cost Estimation - preparing detailed and reliable estimates for all types of projects.
Cost Control - implementing systems to monitor expenses, reduce overruns, and ensure profitability.
High-Rise Building Estimation - specialized in multi-story and complex structures with advanced techniques for accurate material, labor, and cost forecasting.
I believe in practical, hands-on learning, which I bring into my teaching by sharing real industry examples, case studies, and tools. My mission is to equip civil engineers, students, and working professionals with the skills required to manage projects efficiently and confidently using Primavera P6 and MS Project.
