Estimating Services

Estimates calibrated to the stage your project is in.

Not every estimate needs the same accuracy. We match the estimating method to your project phase, so you're never paying for more detail than the decision requires.

Estimate Types

Three estimate types, one consistent process.

Preliminary Estimates

Early-stage budget ranges built from conceptual drawings, ideal for feasibility studies and initial developer decisions.

  • Order-of-magnitude budget
  • Cost per square foot benchmark
  • Risk and contingency notes

Detailed Estimates

Line-item estimates built from full construction documents, used for competitive bidding and lender submissions.

  • Full quantity takeoff
  • Trade-by-trade cost breakdown
  • Labor and material split

Control Estimates

Baseline budgets used to track cost performance throughout construction, updated as change orders occur.

  • Cost-loaded schedule
  • Change order tracking log
  • Monthly variance reporting
