Cost Estimating
Knowing how much a building under design is going to cost is a fundamental requirement on most projects. Our in-house experts cover all disciplines and components of a facility, resulting in a complete, reliable plan that is continually monitored and refreshed as the design progresses. Using leading-edge technology, cost estimates can be created and updated quickly and economically, while maintaining the level of accuracy we are known for throughout the industry.
Cost estimating services range from early concept stage models based on limited project information and relying heavily on past project data and current market trends, to detailed pre-bid estimates founded on complete quantity take-offs, with prices broken down into labor, materials, and equipment. At every stage of design, the owner and design team can clearly see changes in cost and what will be required to get back on track.
In all of our cost plans we include an assessment of project risk and how it impacts the contingency levels required. We actively participate in risk management workshops, develop and maintain risk registers, and offer advice about identifying and mitigating project risks.
