| Activity Description: |
Construction Cost Advisory - Understanding the expense associated with the building currently in the design phase is crucial for the program's success. Our team of cost specialists comprehensively assesses all aspects and elements of a facility, collaborating closely with the client to incorporate both indirect and intangible costs into their plan. This ensures the development of a thorough and dependable cost plan that is continually updated as the design evolves. With our proficiency and ample resources, we are equipped to provide precise cost estimates at every stage of the capital improvement process.

We boast a team of estimators proficient in all disciplines and components, collaborating closely with clients to develop budgets and deliver dependable, precise cost estimates. As the design progresses, we assess the cost implications of various decisions and scrutinize the fairness and accuracy of contractor bids. Furthermore, our cost plans incorporate risk assessments, informing contingency levels accordingly.
Throughout our estimation process, we consistently explore potential value engineering options. We regard value engineering as integral, systematically reviewing project functions to align with owner objectives and secure optimal, life-cycle solutions. Leveraging our expertise, we furnish accurate cost information to facilitate informed decisions.
Our approach prioritizes value enhancement by eliminating unnecessary costs while upholding functionality. We segment the project scope into systems, exploring alternative options across design, equipment, materials, construction, operations, and maintenance. Our analytical system enables us to evaluate numerous scenarios, addressing value engineering solutions and owner requests promptly and comprehensively. With a profound understanding of project cost drivers, we swiftly identify areas for further analysis to deliver high-value solutions.
Recognizing the significance of precise estimates as both communication tools and project roadmaps, our estimating team brings extensive experience to the table, ensuring seamless navigation from budgeting to project completion. Our estimating team has significant experience in:
Budgeting
Feasibility Studies
Building Evaluations
Project Scheduling
Cost Control & Management
