Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our cost estimating services.

1. Can you estimate from conceptual drawings?

Yes. We specialize in early-stage conceptual estimating. We use historical cost data and square-foot models specific to Arizona to project costs before the engineering plans are fully developed.

2. How do you determine material pricing?

We use a combination of RSMeans databases, real-time supplier quotes, and our internal historical data tracked across recent commercial projects built in the Phoenix and Tucson markets.

3. Do you provide value engineering services?

Absolutely. If your project is coming in over budget, we will identify alternative materials, structural adjustments, and HVAC system modifications that reduce costs without sacrificing the architectural intent.

4. Are general conditions included in the cost estimate?

Yes. We calculate project management salaries, temporary facilities, site security, dumpster fees, and insurance costs based on the projected construction timeline.

5. How long does a full commercial cost estimate take?

A comprehensive cost estimate for a commercial building typically requires 5 to 7 days, allowing our team to thoroughly dissect all architectural, structural, and MEP divisions.
