The services below are an overview of the many services we offer.  A proposal of
services would be drawn up specifically for each client and project, dependant upon
their needs.


Material and Labor Breakdown
A detailed inspection of the drawings will be performed and we will generate a list of all
materials required for the project with an estimated cost for labor.  Costs of the
materials and the labor will be determined utilizing the most current available
information.  The Material and Labor Breakdown will be presented in a spreadsheet
format clearly describing each scope of work and the costs associated.

Value Engineering
An overall inspection can be performed on the drawings to determine if there are any
areas of significant cost savings, that won’t undermine the design or intent of the
project.  These cost savings ideas, if determined, would be presented with specific
details on costs and time frame.  

Project Specifications
An overall inspection can be performed on the drawings and project specifications
would be drawn up based upon the project's needs and intent.  These specifications
would be broken down by scope divisions and cost codes.

Troubleshooting
An overall inspection on the drawings and a site visit can be performed to determine if
any areas designed would pose a potential issue during the actual construction of the
project.  All potential construction issues would be outlined with potential solutions.  

Scheduling
A realistic schedule, detailing each scope, with milestones and a critical path can be
prepared.  This schedule will aid in maintaining full control over the progress of the
work.  A list of long-lead materials and miscellaneous items that may influence the
schedule would be determined and presented.  

Qualifying Proposals
Upon receipt of contractor or vendor proposals from the owner, we can verify what
items are included in the proposal with their associated costs.  

Bid Management
We can review the vendors, subcontractors and/or general contractors that are
selected to bid on the project.  We can organize and control the distribution of the
project documents, answer estimating questions and obtain the proposals.  We can
qualify the proposals and present our findings in a spreadsheet format allowing for
easy bid comparisons.  

Site Consulting
We can provide periodic project analysis inclusive of on-site project meetings, site
inspections, requisition reviews, assist with dispute resolutions and handle other
construction matters that may arise on site.  

Change Order Administration
During the course of construction, we can perform a review of any deviations from the
drawings, unforeseen issues and any changes that may be requested, providing an
analysis outlining solutions and costs.  If necessary, we can visit the site and meet with
the responsible subcontractor and/or general contractor.
