We start construction cost estimating as soon as possible. If we helped you establish a budget, we use that as the starting point for our cost estimating. As the project is developed and refined through conceptual design through design development and construction documents, we add layers of detail that in the end result in a very detailed cost estimate that is prepared and refined using methods that contractors use to develop their bids. The goal is to estimate your project as accurately as possible utilizing site specific information, specific means and methods of construction to determine labor and equipment costs, and realistic overhead and profit given the economic market at the time of construction.
