Our expertise in the industry allows us to provide accurate preliminary budgets to our clients before a design team is involved with the project. By having accurate pricing at the outset, our clients can be confident in the ultimate profitability of the development. They can be aggressive in their financing and lease negotiations. An added benefit is by determining the feasibility of the project prior to outlaying funds on a design team, our clients save money on the soft costs associated with a property/building that does not fit their needs.
Design Quality Control
Quality Control of the design documents is a critical component in getting accurate proposals from all bidders. Our estimators and field staff, review every detail of the plans, comparing pages against one another for accuracy. In a competitive bid situation, this attention to detail benefits the client in numerous ways. It ensures that accuracy not only of our proposal but of other bidders and confirms the accuracy of the CD’s before work begins. The more accurate the design documents, the less likely that change orders will occur on a project and it is always our goal to minimize any unexpected cost to our clients.

We aim to be as transparent as possible with our clients about the true cost of their project and feel like this transparency is the cornerstone of the trust that it takes to build long lasting relationships in our industry.
