to increase the accuracy of your estimation the following should be done:

1- Quantity take offs.

2- Project documents and specification to be thoroughly studied.

3- Receive quotations from the vendors for non common items.

4- refer to your procurement rates on previous projects for similar items.

5- cross check the price with previous similar tender submitted and where was your price with reference to your competitors.

6- After project award to have a feed back from the operation team for the cost performance, which is usually done via a Cost Control Department.
