My Project Estimating · Cost Planning
Drawings rarely stay exactly as first issued. A cost plan that only works while nothing changes isn't much use on a real project, where revisions land throughout design development.
A cost plan set up properly tracks against the elements it was built on, structure, finishes, services, so when a revision changes one of them, the impact can be checked against that specific element rather than recalculating from nothing.
When drawings change, the cost plan is the reference that shows whether the change moved the budget and by how much, rather than the shift going unnoticed until a much later estimate comes in higher than expected.
A cost plan that's tracked through revisions means the final measured estimate can be reconciled against the original budget, showing exactly what moved and why, not just a bigger number with no explanation.
Send your drawings, current or still evolving, and we'll cost plan properly from the start. See a sample estimate to see how the figures are laid out.
