Estimating support for architects and engineers
Estimating support for architecture and engineering firms: design-stage estimates, opinions of probable construction cost, BOQs and bid-form preparation.
Most design contracts require an opinion of probable construction cost at each phase. We prepare those estimates for architecture and engineering firms, formatted for your client and your deliverable schedule.
We also prepare BOQs and bid forms for your bid packages, and review bids after opening, so your team can stay focused on design.
