For those seeking a quick, approximate cost figure, we offer ballpark estimates. These estimates are generally accurate within 20% of the actual cost, giving clients a rough idea of what to expect. Ideal for early-stage evaluations or preliminary decision-making, a ballpark estimate is a helpful starting point, though it remains subject to changes as the project develops.

When a project nears its final stages, we provide definitive estimates with an accuracy range of -5% to +15%. This estimate is based on detailed design and planning information, providing clients with a highly accurate projection of project costs.

How do you develop a preliminary estimate?
We begin by gathering essential information about the project, including plans, specifications, and site conditions. Our team then analyzes historical cost data and current market trends to develop a comprehensive estimate that reflects realistic costs based on similar projects.
Can you customize Preliminary estimates for unique projects?
Yes, we pride ourselves on our ability to customize estimates according to the specific needs and nuances of each project. Every project is unique, and we tailor our approach to reflect that.
