Our estimating and cost trending systems dovetail with each
phase of design. From conceptual drawings to final construction documents we
actively participate providing innovative ideas and accurate cost information.
Additionally, we track soft cost with a project cost matrix and maintain the
project schedule for the entire team. Our systems are designed to communicate
cost and schedule issues clearly allowing decisions to be made quickly; keeping
the project in budget and on schedule.
During preconstruction we respect the architect's
responsibility and the owner's expectation for good design. We understand our
job is to enhance the building with additional value through the
preconstruction process. The result of our approach to preconstruction is
delivery of the best building project for the least possible cost. The
