Options & Costing
Our extensive experience in the following areas provide you with the following key benefits;
We produce building estimates from basic schematic design sketches which enables us to produce a building cost budget at the preliminary concept design stage of your projects, which allows you to work with a budget right from the beginning.
We identify cost effective alternatives and options that allow significant cost savings.
The utilisation of the latest estimating software programme, allows us to calculate and prepare accurate cost estimates in a fraction of the time it would take you to perform the same task.
Our estimates are very simple and easy to understand, and are set out in a very user friendly format which enables very easy following. For the non-technical minded people, we also provide a glossary of common building terms used to guide you through your building estimate.
We can easily produce structural timber and steel engineering member schedules from engineer design & certified span table publications (that comply with current industry standards), at the preliminary design stage of your building project, prior to engaging the services of a structural engineer.
On-going subscriptions to current pricing publications across all building materials and trade professions allow us to provide current, up-to-date and accurate rates throughout our building estimates all the time.
On-going subscriptions to new and current building products in the market place allow us to advise on new building methods and techniques that could be possibly adopted on your building projects.
We can provide a buildability assessment report for your building project and suggest cost effective alternatives that will reduce down-time and allows your projects to run a lot smoother and avoid unforeseen delays.
We can liase with your architect and engineer throughout the estimating process to identify the most efficient and affordable construction methods.
These factors and more make using our services truly cost effective and time efficient, allowing greater time spent in the design, construction, and supervision of all building projects, ensuring they are built on time and most importantly on budget.
