Visual Cost Estimation

Being on budget is about reliability. We’ve got the confidence to lock into an iron clad fixed-price contract…if we blow the budget, you don’t eat it, we do. Our confidence is founded on internal cost controls achieved by adhering to these core operational principles:

  • Concurrent Design / Engineering / Cost Estimating
  • Locally derived Cost Estimates
  • Creativity and Problem Solving, particularly in Engineering
  • Clear and Consistent Communication
  • Thorough Construction Documents
  • Contingency Planning

4 – Quality Assurance

Finding a way Over the Problem

Our “can-do” philosophy always finds a way around, over, under or straight through every challenge.
