Negotiating building costs
"A continuació es detallen tots els càlculs que es segueixen per determinar en primer lloc, els diferents ***pressupostos estimats d’execució material*** –PEM’s"
I'm brain dead this morning. This obviously refers to the total costs for completing the project, but do we have a snappy phrase for such a beast? ... and even more so an acronym?? - since on the next few pages this "PEM" is used constantly to refer back to this concept.
Working on a Sunday, eh? Who'd be a translator? ;-)

Hi Bernie,
why not just put it like that? Obviously just a Sunday morning proposal of another slave.

material performance/execution budget
As far as I can see there's no consensus translation or standard English acronym. The options I've suggested are used in A Spanish government document:
Technical Guide for the Evaluation and Prevention of Hazards in ...As already mentioned, in this technical Guide construction works have been classified on the ...... Preparation of the material performance budget (PEM). ...

You could introduce your own acronym for the purposes of the translation (MPB or MEB).
