Due Diligence Review – Site Surveys – Exploratory Services
Our experience with many types of buildings can be a valuable resource to your due diligence team in the analysis of buildings for acquisition or prior to a project’s conception. We can assist your team in conducting a comprehensive survey of all existing conditions. We can provide comparative cost benefit studies when comparing two or more prospective sites.
Conceptual Budgeting
Before the pencil hits the paper, our estimators can assist in the preparation of preliminary budgets, drawing from our extensive database of cost information from past projects. Our estimators are unparalleled at providing detailed conceptual estimates based on limited information provided.
Site Logistics Planning
Based on the scope of the project, our project management staff will prepare a logistics and sequencing plan that will become a vital part of the overall schedule. We specialize in highly complex projects requiring the coordination of multiple trades and specialty subcontractors. Proper upfront planning based on site-specific requirements will translate into cost and time efficiencies for the entire project.
Estimating
We employ a staff of quantity surveyors, with knowledge of every facet of construction estimating. Throughout the design development and construction document phases, periodic cost estimates are provided to assist the client and the design team with understanding the cost of a project as it evolves. Our estimators will provide cost savings and value engineering options that will not compromise functionality or services.
