Yes. True
estimation is how much you think it would costs and budget is how much you decide it will cost after several estimations. budget is how much you can spend.
I found a wonderful software to do cost estimation, budgeting in direct and indirect, resource management and easy way to sheduling the tasks. The name of the software is ProBID+ 2009. Link is as below. http://www.aeclogic.com/ProBID.aspx I hope this sofware is very useful to you also. All the best.

Lines of code and function points were described as measures from which productivity metrics can be computed. LOC and FP data are used in two ways during software project estimation: (1) as an estimation variable to "size" each element of the software and (2) as baseline metrics collected from past projects and used in conjunction with estimation variables to develop cost and effort projections.
Regional prices can vary, but scraping and waterblasting are typically the most cost-effective means of removal.

The most difference is on cost estimation. In PreFS, cost estimation is based on assumptions while cost estimation in FS is normally based on vendors' offers/proposals, at least for expensive price equipment/materials.
an estimation is an educated guess as to the cost of a certain procedure or product.
Cost estimation is important because each project has the risk of added costs that weren't consider up front throwing the project into a state where you may not have the budget required to continue working on the project. The cost estimation should include the initial assessment plus % available for added costs.
COCOMO constructive cost estimation model
1,estimation is finding the cost before it has been actually manufactured. and costing is finding cost after manufacturing the product including the defect product cost. 2,estimation need high technical skills and knowledge hence its done by engineering department but costing need high accounting skills hence its usually done by Accountants or account departments 3,estimation foresee the probable cost and hence it can be used to decide whether one need to produce a particular product or not. or if its profitable or not costing helps to understand to what extent the estimation holds good also when and where it fails
estimation is how much you think it would costs and budget is how much you decide it will cost after several estimations. budget is how much you can spend.
High and low method is the method for separating fixed cost and variable cost from mixed cost.

It is a pre-costing method of a project and which will be able to tell the cost of construction after completion the design and also before its execution. Pre-estimation of a design proposal will give clear picture about the cost of it's to the employer as well as to the design team to make decisions regarding the project to ensure value for money.
