Construction cost estimating for developers and owners
Independent construction budgets for developers and owners: feasibility estimates, design-stage cost plans, bid reviews and change-order checks.
Developers and owners need a number they can trust before they buy land, sign a design contract or accept a bid. We prepare independent budgets and estimates that you can use to test feasibility, manage your design team and check contractor pricing.
Because we don't build, our numbers have no interest in the outcome. You get an honest estimate with the assumptions written down.
How we help developers & owners
- Feasibility and pro-forma budgets
- Cost plans at each design stage
- Contractor bid reviews and comparisons
- Change-order and pay-application reviews
- Lender and investor cost reports
