Estimating Services

• Accurately estimating a project’s costs is a critical, yet often overlooked step in many construction projects. Many estimates are merely “guesstimates” done haphazardly or without factual or up-to-date information. In today’s global economy, material prices are constantly changing and factors including environment, economics and political / current events can have a profound effect on the pricing used to estimate a construction project.
• For example, recent spikes in global energy costs can have a dramatic impact on the cost of delivery of materials plus costs for general conditions and overhead associated with managing your construction project.
• Mindful of these factors, CatCord’s estimating professionals are routinely and fully educated in these areas. The result is more accurate estimates and a “no surprises” approach to job costing methods.
• CatCord’s estimating services can be performed at any stage along the construction project including conceptual, feasibility, schematic, pre-construction, during construction and during claims analysis.
