                    Pre-Construction Estimating

 

Feasibility – are the quickest turn-around of our Estimates, using the least amount of information.

 

Schematic Design Milestone – are typically prepared to reaffirm the budget and to provide for design adjustments. 

 

Design Development Milestone – are prepared at the various phases of the design completion (35%-50%) and are used to verify the project budget is being maintained.

 

Construction Document Milestone – This is referred to as the “engineer’s estimate.  This is used to monitor bids being received and for project control applications such as CPM scheduling and cost reporting.

 

Constructability Review – a comprehensive evaluation of the plans and specifications to enhance the constructability of the project.  It helps discover omissions, duplications and/or conflicts in the documents, reducing problems during construction, which can reduce the amount of change orders during construction.

 Our Services

                           Bidding Phase Estimating

 

Design/Build – are furnished at the appropriate level of design for competitive or cost reimbursable construction contracts.  These estimates include design details not yet defined in the documents, along with what is shown. 

 

Bid – This is used to verify the “contractor’s” estimate.  This  detailed estimate is used to bid, develop the CPM Schedule and if successful in the bid, establish a control budget for the construction of the project.  

 

Quantity Take-Offs – This is the bill of materials for the project.  It is similar to the bid estimate except no labor, material or equipment pricing.
