OUR WAY OF PROCESS

FORMAL KICKOFF MEETING

Our estimating process begins with a meeting of the Cost Management team members. In this meeting, they take a deep into the project’s engagement resources and addenda. Overall, the goal of this meeting is for the project team to develop a detailed schedule for timely delivery.

DETAILED QUANTITY SURVEY

The Precision team performs a digital quantity takeoff using leading takeoff software in order to streamline the material quantification and quality management processes. Simply stated, this is the process of translating current design drawings into resource quantities suitable for costing.

MATERIAL, & LABOR PRICING

Our material pricing process includes procurement of supplier pricing, in addition to, utilization of pricing catalogs and published reference books. Equipment and Labor pricing considers crew size, wage agreements, equipment costs, and information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Lastly.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Additional considerations include cost adjustments for specific project conditions such as inclement weather, material logistics, site constraints, and more. Another additional consideration are job site overheads which include bonds, permits, mobilization, temporary facilities, travel, lodging, demobilization, and more.

QC & COLD EYES REVIEW

For quality assurance purposes, our process incorporates a review by a Senior Cost Manager (without prior project knowledge). This ensures that proper estimating methods, procedures, techniques, data and guidelines have been employed during compilation of the Cost Estimate.
