About this project cost estimate spreadsheet template

This project cost estimate spreadsheet template provides a complete framework for building, analyzing, and presenting project budgets. It includes five structured sheets — Inputs, Calculation, Scenarios, Dashboard, and International Setup — that guide you from entering base cost data through risk-adjusted forecasting to an executive-ready summary.

The template is fully editable in WPS Office, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets. Replace the sample Riverside Fit-Out project data with your own cost categories, rates, and assumptions, and the formulas will recalculate adjusted estimates, EAC, and scenario comparisons automatically.
