Highlights of Our Services

Our specialty is creating high-level, conceptual estimates from limited information.  We can also develop detailed estimates at every phase of the design process.

An essential review early in the design process that ensures the design is constructable based on project logistics and compatibility material selections.  Alternative methods and materials can also be evaluated.

​

​

Understanding the timing and magnitude of period payments and disbursements is a key factor for owners to ensure proper funding and planning for expenses is in place.

Construction can be a complicated process that takes time and expertise to manage properly.  Whether you are not well versed in construction processes or need additional staffing, we are here to help.

A process that establishes targets for each design discipline, building component, or trade.  The total of all the targets establishes an overall budget that each target is evaluated against as design proceeds.

​

The phasing and logistics of construction projects requires extensive planning and forethought to be successful.  Part of our solutions include graphic and visual representations for easier understanding and communication.

First cost is only one measure of the cost of a project.  Evaluating the total life cycle cost for building components and materials can provide beneficial information for long term owners of construction.

The last five years have been the most economically volatile in history.  We have extensive data on historical costs that informs both current and future pricing trends.

Budgets are always under pressure in today's economy.  Our process evaluates options and focuses on adding value, not just reducing costs by eliminating scope of work.

The project schedule provides the milestones and detailed sequences that when used effectively, is one of the most critical documents for any project.  It must also be continuously monitored and updated.

​

Knowing lead times for materials and sequencing of project tasks can provide essential information so that materials and subcontracts are procured in the most efficient manner.

When something doesn't go as planned and disputes arise, we can offer services to help mitigate risk and find workable solutions.  If needed, we can also provide expert witness testimony.
