1. A method for producing an infrastructure project estimate comprising:
- identifying a plurality of infrastructure elements, the infrastructure elements comprising operating environments, software, interfaces, service, and documentation;
loading a project model with the plurality of infrastructure elements;
selecting at least one attribute for each infrastructure element in the project model;
processing at least a portion of the project model based on each selected attribute; and
producing an infrastructure project estimate based on the processed project model, the estimate comprising project cost and project duration.

Abstract
A method for producing an infrastructure project estimate comprises identifying a plurality of infrastructure elements, the infrastructure elements comprising operating environments, software, interfaces, service, and documentation. A project model is loaded with the plurality of infrastructure elements. At least one attribute is selected for each infrastructure element in the project model. The method processes at least a portion of the project model based on each selected attribute and produces an infrastructure project estimate based on the processed project model, the estimate comprising project cost and project duration.
