Cost Planning
Architects and engineers design construction projects and produce blueprints and specifications. Contractors bring that vision to life during the construction stage. There is an important opportunity in the construction planning process, between the design and the build, to measure and confirm the budget.
Through the technique of concept estimating, we verify the cost of the project to make sure the design matches the construction budget. This way re-design —which can cost plenty of time and money— is avoided before getting a quote from a contractor.
Services include:
- Concept cost planning and budget verification
- Review and guidance on the indirect, or “soft” costs of construction
- Lifecycle costing
- Capital budget planning for real estate development
