Know the number before you commit to it
Fixed-fee estimating and cost review for owners, developers, contractors and architects. Clear scope, clear deliverable, clear turnaround.
Estimating services
Conceptual budget
An early order-of-magnitude budget from concept drawings or a project description, so you can decide whether the project makes sense before paying for full design.
Detailed estimate & takeoff
Quantity takeoff and line-item cost estimate from plans and specifications, organized by trade or CSI division, with assumptions and exclusions spelled out.
Bid leveling
Side-by-side comparison of contractor bids — normalized for scope gaps, allowances and exclusions — with a recommendation and questions to send back.
Change order review
Verification of quantities, unit pricing, markup and whether the work was already in the original scope. Delivered as a short written finding you can forward.
Estimate validation
An independent check of an estimate you already have — from your contractor, architect or lender — to flag what's missing, inflated or underpriced.
Value engineering
Specific, priced alternatives that cut cost without cutting what matters — materials, systems, details and sequencing.
