Pretty well-planned approach you have there. I think it could work quite good. In my opinion it's quite time consuming though. You have to remember that time estimations normally involves many people, so an hour estimation meeting can be many more hours effectively.

I would suggest using agile metrics. In that way you can plan in points and the points will automatically correspond to a certain amount of time based on the actual time it takes to develop. The process is described here.
