Construction Cost Estimation Services

Whether you are interested in making an investment decision in the conceptual stage, to negotiate or finalize the implementation contract, or implement the cost control measures, we are here to offer you the right support for cost estimation. BlackRock also helps contractors and engineers with estimates that determine the project costs and profits, with the development of a database, or with evaluations of construction alternatives.

Careful consideration to all the specifications of your project given, including the feasibility analysis, materials, equipment, design and labor, insurances and taxes, inspections and testing, buying, holding and improvement of land, etc.

Following your requirements, our experts make a comprehensive analysis of the scope, time, cost quality, and performance. For delivering accurate estimation, we use design and engineering software such as Design Suite (BDS), Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Building Material Estimators (Win), ProEst Estimating, Quest Estimator

We provide estimations on all the three essential functions of design, bidding, or control, generally needed in estimating your project costs.

Design Estimates: This service is especially important for owners and designated design professionals, as the types of cost estimates run parallel with the planning and design process. For this category, we are in charge of:

• Screening estimates order of magnitude estimates, a prediction based on the capacity of the proposed project
• Preliminary estimates made when conceptual design decisions made
• Engineer’s  estimates based on plans, data and specifications on projects already performed
• Detailed estimates definitive estimates, prepared after drawings completed

 This type of services addressed to contractors. Bid estimation submitted to the owner for either competitive bidding or negotiation will consist of a direct construction cost including field supervision, a markup to cover general overhead and profits. For this, we will follow a combination of the following approaches:

• Subcontractor quotations
• Quantity  takeoffs
• Construction procedures

Control Estimates:   This service dedicated to monitoring the project during construction phases. Through the cost estimation there will be established:

• Budget estimate for financing
• Budget required after contracting but  before construction
• Estimated cost to completion, as the development progresses

For the building cost estimations, we consider all the different perspectives of institutional requirements. We can help you make estimates of the expected costs in various areas such as design development  changes, schedule and material adjustments, site conditions that are different than those expected, additional permits imposed during construction, etc.

Matching meticulous approach for the cost estimation, our working process consists of several steps to be followed:

• Determine Base Estimate Obtaining project information, becoming familiar with the background and the details of the project, after which we complete the quantity survey. Each phase of a project life cycle requires a different type of estimate, and therefore the different kind of information will be collected. At this initial phase, we also decide on the associated schedule for each step of the cost estimation process.
• Estimation Analysis In the second stage we develop methods for completed estimates, appropriate for the scope and schedule of the project. At this juncture, we will also ensure that the data used reflects the project scope and site conditions. We can be in charge of preliminary, unit price, conceptual cost, accurate estimation, and others, according to the details established in the initial phase. We can give you reports on a daily or weekly basis.
• Cross-checking and Final Summaries At this stage, we validate all the cost estimates, after which we provide you with listings and calculations of all the direct and indirect costs.
• Reviews and Estimation Conversion At this stage, we can help you do all  the required reports. Additionally, we can show estimating procedures that allow conversion of the estimate to field cost systems so management can monitor and control field activities.

We can help you present the output of the cost estimation in either written, tabular or graphical outputs.
