Costing & Estimation Work

Overview

Costing & Estimation Work services

Know the cost before you commit. From an early per-square-foot budget to a fully detailed estimate built on current material and labour rates, we help owners, builders and lenders plan with confidence.

At the concept stage we prepare preliminary estimates based on built-up area and specification level. Once drawings are ready, we build a detailed estimate from measured quantities and current local market rates for materials, labour and equipment.

Estimates are presented trade-wise with cost per square foot, so you can see where money goes and test alternatives — for example, a change in flooring, façade or structural system — before construction starts.

What's included

• Preliminary (plinth-area) estimate at concept stage
• Detailed estimate from measured quantities
• Current market rate research for your location
• Trade-wise and floor-wise cost summary
• Cost per sq. ft. and specification comparison
• Value-engineering suggestions to optimise cost
• Estimated cash-flow / stage-wise fund requirement
• Revised estimates when design or rates change

How we work

1. Brief

   We capture the project size, location, quality level and timeline.

2. Quantities

3. Rate Build-up

   Current local material and labour rates are applied to each item.

4. Summary

   Costs are grouped by trade and stage with cost per sq. ft.

5. Presentation
