Friends,
One part of our project includes preparating of small work requests & estimating the Man-hours required to complete the Engineering work.
Electrical Heat Tracing expert seldom gives the Man-hours saying that it cannot be quantified at the start & even when Isometrics are issued.. My contention is that at some point of time, with historical data etc, one can always estimate the Man-hours required with more or less accuracy.
Are ther some standards linking Piping Isometrics (Length/Volume, type etc) with the Tracing Quantities & with Tracing efforts.
Cheers

You got me wrong. I am not talking about the relationship between deliverables.
My query was even after giving ISO’s for the Tracing team, we do not get how many mhrs/time is required for tracing work let alone getting a decent estimate after Layout/design.
This affects completion dates.
Normally when doing an EPCM/LSTK from the start we do have norms, but when the Project reaches a stage where Offshore Works come in piecemeals it becomes difficult to estimate.
