This paper addresses how to estimate the final cost of a project and when the estimate becomes accurate. The performance of five forecasting models drawn from literature was evaluated with data from a sample of actual projects. A stability analysis was carried out in order to identify when the forecasts become stable and accurate for the model that emerged as the most accurate.
