The estimating framework includes project phases and required materials because it serves as a comprehensive approach to calculating the total costs associated with a construction project. This framework identifies different stages of the project, from planning through execution, and outlines the specific materials that will be needed during each phase.

By breaking down the project into these phases, contractors can more accurately assess how much time and resources will be required at each step. Incorporating required materials into the framework ensures that all necessary components are accounted for in the overall cost estimation. This comprehensive picture helps in identifying potential areas for savings and ensuring that all aspects of the project are thoughtfully planned and budgeted.
