Discuss Your Construction Project with Our Experts

Before we can provide you with an accurate estimate of your building costs, we will first need to establish your vision for the project and get to know you a bit better. We will begin by gathering all of the information we can regarding the project, such as the location of the build, your goals, and the approximate budget.

Once we understand what we are working with, our team will start crunching the numbers and get back to you with a trustworthy overview.

The Components of a Successful Cost Estimate

Although there are many different things to consider with any construction project, they generally all have three things in common when determining the costs: labor, materials, and overhead costs. These factors will both directly and indirectly affect the final expense of your project and should be taken into account when calculating your estimate.

Labor Costs

The labor costs of your construction process are the portion of your budget that will be spent on contractors and other building professionals. It is crucial to hire workers that have the necessary qualifications to complete their share of the project and that have a strong reputation in the industry. This will ensure that you do not have to hire additional personnel down the line to fill in the gaps.

Material Costs

Another direct cost associated with the construction process is the procurement of all the necessary building materials. This includes the raw materials that will be used in your construction, as well as any equipment that will need to be bought or rented for the job.

Overhead Costs

The overhead costs associated with your project will be all of those indirectly associated with your final structure. These may include things such as taxes, property costs, insurance, external advisors, and many other aspects.
