Title

Building An Expert System For Cost Estimating.

Abstract

It was decided to build an expert system for cost estimating. The participating engineers working on the project were interested in cost estimating for different purposes. The cost estimating was for macrotype estimating jobs such as large turbine repair, pre-planning for the manufacturing of repair parts and for energy cogeneration systems. Because of the diverse nature of the types of cost estimating we wanted to do, it was decided to build a very general cost estimating shell that could accommodate a wide variety of cost estimating situations with each specialized knowledge base. The paper discusses PAINTER, a rule-based cost estimating program for house painting.
