In House Project Estimation
Accurate cost estimation is essential for ensuring that projects are properly budgeted and managed, which contributes to successful project outcomes.
Our project estimator can estimate the costs associated with construction or renovation projects for you. We provide a tailored service for your project, preferences and site requirements.
We will analyse project plans, specifications, and other relevant information to provide accurate cost estimates to clients, contractors, and project managers.
Our project estimator has a strong understanding of construction materials, methods, and the local construction market. So, you can be sure we will keep you and your project on task and on budget. We are happy to handle it all, so you have nothing to worry about. Our estimation service includes the following:
- Analysing Project Plans: Reviewing architectural and engineering plans, drawings, and specifications to understand the scope of the project and the materials and resources required.
- Cost Estimation: Using our expertise and knowledge of construction materials, labour rates, and local market conditions, we will calculate the projected costs for various aspects of the project, including materials, labour, equipment, permits, and overheads.
- Quantity Takeoffs: We will measure and quantify the amount of materials needed for the project, such as bricks, concrete, roofing materials, plumbing fixtures, electrical components, and more.
- Budget Preparation: Based on the cost estimates, we will create detailed budgets for the project, including itemised breakdowns of costs and any potential contingencies.
- Cost Analysis: We will analyse and compare costs from different suppliers and subcontractors to ensure that the estimates are accurate and competitive.
- Market Research: We aim to stay updated on current market trends, changes in material costs, and labour rates to make informed predictions about your project costs. We always keep you informed so that you know, no matter how long the project, we have it covered.
- Collaboration: We also work closely with architects, engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to ensure that the project’s cost estimates align with the project’s design and goals.
- Documentation: We keep detailed records of estimates, assumptions, calculations, and communication with suppliers and subcontractors for your peace of mind. Although we hope never to run into disputes, you can be sure we will have everything in line to help to resolve the issue amicably.
- Value Engineering: In some cases, we may suggest alternative materials or construction methods that can help reduce costs while maintaining quality. Our time in the industry means that we are conscious of the current climate, and the volatility of prices in some sectors. Therefore, we always provide a number of options and backups to ensure we keep you on track.
