Applied Solutions

At Sound Cost Consulting, we focus on strengthening the tools, methods, and practices that support accurate cost and schedule decision-making. Rather than chasing trends, we take a practical, engineering-driven approach: identifying where current processes can be improved, developing straightforward solutions, and applying data in ways that genuinely support project teams. 

Our goal is simple: give estimators, engineers, and contractors clearer insight—without adding complexity.

 Every day, public agencies, A/E teams, and contractors generate massive amounts of estimating data—bid tabs, estimates, schedules, production rates, quantity records, and as-built information. 

Most of it is unused.
Or stuck in PDFs.
Or scattered across websites and drives.
Or too inconsistent to support decision-making.

We believe in continuous improvement.
Better benchmarking.
Better trend analysis.
Better transparency.
Better tools for estimators doing real work under real deadlines.

Applied solutions at SCC is focused on solving those gaps.
