The cost estimate is the financial foundation of any construction project. The budget, the terms of the contract with the contractor and the outcome of a tender all depend on its accuracy. Techno-Module prepares cost estimate documentation for facilities of any type and also reviews and appraises existing estimates and designs. We price estimates as builders, so we spot both missing works and inflated quantities.
What design and estimate documentation and estimates are
- Design and estimate documentation (PSD) — the set of drawings, explanatory notes and estimates used to build a facility and determine its cost.
- Local estimate — the cost calculation for a single type of work or structural element: foundations, roofing, electrical installation, finishing.
- Object estimate — combines local estimates and shows the full cost of a facility or one of its phases.
- Consolidated cost estimate — the total construction cost including all facilities, overheads and contingencies.
Our services
- Preparation of local and object estimates based on a design or a schedule of defects.
- Estimates for tenders and commercial proposals.
- Estimate review: checking quantities, unit rates, coefficients and consistency with the design.
- Value engineering of design solutions to save money without losing quality.
- Checking certificates of completed works.
How it works
- Receipt of the design, bills of quantities or defect report.
- Quantity take-off and selection of unit rates.
- Preparation of estimates and agreement with the client.
- For a review, a report listing comments and recommendations.
The result
- A well-founded budget that makes negotiations with the contractor easier.
- Errors and overpricing identified before any payments are made.
- Estimates and reports in electronic form in your personal account.
An estimate review is especially useful before signing a contract with a contractor or before a tender. An independent check often reveals double-counted works, inflated quantities or incorrectly applied coefficients.
