The Air Force would most likely use the parametric estimating technique to prepare their budget estimate for the upgrade. This technique involves using historical data and statistical analysis to relate project characteristics (such as size, complexity, and technology) to cost estimates. By analyzing similar past projects, the Air Force can develop a parametric model to estimate the cost of the upgrade based on specific project parameters.
an estimating technique in which the front digits of the addends are added and then the sum is adjusted for a closer estimate
No, it is not. Estimating may be rounding but need not be.
Estimating one of them is equivalent to estimating the other.
No. Measuring is getting an exact length. Estimating is guessing what the length is

You can buy construction cost estimating software on eBay. Construction Book Express also has many different types of construction cost estimating software to buy.

An accurate cost accounting system is the basic building block for a good cost estimating system.
An article on cost estimating in the building construction field, admittedly from an out dated source although the principles are still the same, is at http://www.inquirewithin.biz/Vol2/Estimating/estimating_foundations.htm.
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is the dominant model for estimating the cost of equity.

Construction companies do not offer cost estimating as a service. However, they do cost estimates of their projects using one of the software applications available for purchase.
