How it Works

Our Process

Tailored to you: we know every project is unique. That’s why &estimate offers end-to-end construction management services for the best results for your distinct project. Here’s how we’ll work together:

Pre-Construction Phase

Budget Development: Taking the Owner’s initial idea and establishing the appropriate funding resources required. Establishing an achievable budget.
Milestone Estimating: Conventional estimating process of Schematic Design (SD), Design Development (DD), and Construction Documents (CD) on a predetermined estimating schedule.
Continuous Estimating: The estimating process gets rolled up into the overall design process. We believe in being proactive rather than reactive. &estimate constantly updates the Design Development as it occurs.
Constructability Review: Performed at 80% - 90% complete documents to review for potential change orders, RFIs, and scope alignment issues / coordination of drawings. Taking this step allows for a tighter & more conformed set of construction documents.
Value Management: Our experts know a good value when we see it. Our process includes getting a project back to budget without reducing quality, Owner requirements, scope, goals, quality and intended end use of the project.
GMP Reconciliation: 3^rd party opinion estimate to review not only the detailed budget but the scope of work with the selected Construction Manager (CM).
Facility Assessments: &estimate will also review existing building conditions to provide a needs report to help reveal an immediate 5 – 10-year outlook of capital improvements and their associated costs.
Scheduling Services: Our construction estimating team will develop a milestone schedule during the Design Phase to create the overall project timeline.
