A P P R O A C H & M E T H O D O L O G Y <br />Cost Control <br />“We collaborate with independent, third-party professional cost <br />estimators to develop accurate bills of quantities and verify unit <br />pricing objectively.” <br />COST STEWARDSHIP IS A CORE SERVICE COMPETENCY, NOT AN <br />AFTERTHOUGHT. <br />CORE A P P R OA C H / M E T H O D O LO GY <br />Our process follows AIA B101 standards and includes cost estimation at the end of <br />every design phase. <br />TOOL S & T E C HN I Q U ES <br />COM M IT ME N T <br />Our philosophy is simple: creative design solutions are most successful when they are <br />fiscally disciplined. By forecasting costs early and verifying them often, we maintain <br />design integrity while honoring our client's financial parameters. <br />E X TE R N A L COST C O N S ULTA N T <br />DESIGN TEAM <br />Scope, drawings, target budget <br />INDEPENDENT, THIRD-PARTY <br />COST ESTIMATOR <br />Objective, arm's-length review <br />VERIFIED BILL OF QUANTITIES <br />& UNIT PRICING <br />Objective third-party numbers <br />OWNER / CLIENT <br />Cost alignment review, sign-off <br />TRA NSPA REN C Y & COM M U NI CAT I O N <br />All cost updates are issued to the owner at phase completion.
