Scoping and Cost Estimating

Escalating costs are affecting more and more transportation projects nationwide and in Minnesota.

MnDOT initiatives in scoping and cost estimating are helping the department improve its ability to estimate and manage project costs.

The relationship between scoping and cost estimating is a close one: A comprehensive project scope is the first step to determining accurate cost estimates.

This web site provides a resource for project managers, estimators, and other MnDOT staff as they complete the scoping process and scoping reports and as they begin to use the new cost estimating and cost management process that is currently under development.
