Frequently asked questions
We can work from concept sketches through to fully documented construction drawings. The earlier you involve us, the more influence cost advice has on design decisions.
A concept estimate carries a wider contingency and is expressed as a range. We always state the basis of estimate, assumptions and exclusions so you understand the confidence level.
Yes. We identify gaps, note assumptions, and flag items that need clarification. The estimate is structured so it can be refined as documentation develops.
