Being more accurate at the front of the design allows for more scope in the program. When others are returning savings at the end of the project, we make sure those funds are utilized at the beginning of design. Our more than 30 project planners help give you the most scope and maximize your budget.
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing are often a large portion of the project’s value. With a full team of in-house MEP estimators, we can conceptualize the MEP design in the schematic design phase of the documents to get a more accurate early estimate of the cost. No going back to your constituents for more funding or scaling back due to ballooning cost.
