Our Cost Estimating Process
At Spire Consulting Group, we’re committed to providing the highest-quality services possible. Here’s how we do it:
- Discuss the scope of work: Our estimators meet with you to discuss your scope of work. We evaluate your drawings, requirements, plans, and conceptual budgets.
- Complete the quantity takeoff: We use historical, international, national, and local databases to complete research. Our estimators provide tailored services to create estimates for design evolution bids, construction bids, third-party vendors or contractors, lump sums, fixed prices, maximum prices, valued engineering, and life cycle costs.
- Provide support services: Our team is available to create cost estimates or verify cost proposals at various stages of projects. We assist in contract cost reviews and negotiations, whether the contract type is still under consideration and needs our informed recommendation, or after the contract is executed and needs experienced professionals to enforce it.
- Evaluate project developments: We analyze the construction process as it unfolds. Our evaluations include analyzing and negotiating Construction Potential Cost Impacts (PCIs), Owner Change Orders (OCOs), Owner Allowance reconciliations, payment applications, material escalations, closeout costs, and claims pricing aligned with your project requirements.
