Estimating

SDB's estimators are highly experienced in the development of cost analysis for various types of construction ranging from stipulated sum to conceptual budget estimates. Our professional estimators evaluate each client's project in terms of the most productive, efficient and cost effective use of materials and resources to develop estimates that accurately reflect the value of the work. Included in the valuation of each project are the following:
  • Review of the clients scope of work
  • Evaluation of the clients performance criteria and expectations
  • Site evaluation and survey
  • Labor and material availability analysis

Construction estimating has evolved into much more than simply assembling the costs of the various pieces that form a project. The success of a project involves innovative and creative thinking, up-to-date knowledge of materials and labor costs, and the attention to detail necessary to provide the client with accurate information necessary to make informed decisions.
