How we are working to improve cost control.

Because cost overruns can cause owners significant distress and hardship, we are continuously working to improve our cost control. To this end, we keep detailed job costs which we use to do preliminary estimates during the pre-construction phase. This helps with decisions as design progresses. We also draw on key trades for reality checks. Then, when design is near permit stage, we get quotes from our subcontractors and present the costing to you. With this information, you can make informed choices of how to proceed. Once the construction phase begins, we do bi-weekly comparisons of actual costs relative to the projected costs. This information gives you a solid basis when considering changes, extra work or potential deletions.
