Budget Estimating:
For developers and owners, budget estimates are essential to define the initial budget, secure project financing, verify contractor bids, and allocate budget limits for architects. Our estimates also guide material selection and help optimize efficiency, providing reliable pricing to assist with vendor negotiations and avoiding costly change orders.

OUR APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATING SERVICES
We believe that an accurate estimate is a key tool in setting a project’s budget and controlling costs throughout its lifecycle. Our process begins with a thorough review of design documents, followed by an analysis of construction methods, materials, location, permits, logistics, and other factors that might impact the cost estimate. Once the quantity takeoffs are completed by our trade-specific estimators, the lead estimator ensures that the estimate meets project goals and standards.
Through strong relationships with vendors, contractors, and subcontractors across North America, combined with careful bid analysis, we’ve developed an accurate cost database for labor, material, and equipment pricing. We also utilize RSMeans and Craftsman for code-based pricing, enabling us to deliver highly precise and effective estimating services to meet client milestones.
