Cost Estimating Services

Experience in heavy civil, structures, waterfront, deep foundation, and dredging. Clients include USACE, NAVFAC, USCG, municipalities, and other public agencies seeking transparent defensible cost guidance.

Independent Cost Estimates (ICE)

Objective, defensible cost estimates prepared at all design stages—from concept through final design—using clear assumptions, quantities, and risk considerations. 

Design-Stage Estimates (Concept → 100%)

Detailed estimates aligned with agency expectations (NAVFAC, USACE, WSDOT, municipalities) that support funding, design decisions, and project validation. 

Quantity Takeoff & Validation

Accurate, transparent takeoff packages rooted in engineering drawings, constructability logic, and contractor-style production assumptions. 

Value Engineering Support

Targeted cost-saving alternatives developed alongside discipline specialists to improve constructability, reduce risk, and maintain project intent. 

Independent Estimate Review

A structured review of contractor or consultant estimates to identify scope gaps, quantity inconsistencies, and pricing risks before award. 

Analytics for Contractors

Emerging tools that leverage historical project data to support bid strategy, validate pricing assumptions, benchmark production rates, and identify competitive unit-cost ranges during preconstruction. 


Project Controls & Scheduling

We provide project controls and scheduling service grounded in experience in heavy civil, structures, waterfront, deep foundation, and dredging. Our schedules support USACE, NAVFAC, USCG, municipalities, and other public agencies with clear logic, critical-path visibility and defensible progress tracking.

Primavera P6 Schedule Development

Development of logic-driven baseline schedules for design or construction, including sequencing, milestones, resource assumptions, and critical path logic. 

Schedule Review & Validation

Independent analysis of contractor or design-phase schedules—logic checks, risk identification, compression analysis, and critical path verification. 

Cost/Schedule Integration

 Alignment of estimate assumptions with schedule logic to identify productivity conflicts, long-lead issues, and cost drivers. 


Advisory & Owner Support

We support owners with targeted advisory services. This work draws on deep experience in heavy civil, structures, waterfront, deep foundation, and dredging for clients such as USACE, NAVFAC, USCG, municipalities, and other public agencies.

Constructability & Sequencing Review

 Practical analysis of project phasing, access constraints, marine operations, heavy civil logistics, and sequencing impacts on cost. 

Risk & Contingency Analysis

 Structured assessment of uncertainties, production risks, geotechnical factors, escalation, and project-specific cost drivers. 

Funding & Budget Support

 Assistance with planning-level opinions of probable cost (OPC), funding strategies, and budget refinement across project phases. 

Change Order Review

 Independent assessment of contractor change requests, pricing methodology, and entitlement to support fair, timely resolution. 

Analytics for Public Owners & A/E Teams

 Emerging capabilities to turn historical project data into practical insights for estimating, planning, and early-stage decision-making.
