Here what we do for you is we analyze, define and quantify the claim in as logical of a fashion as can be put on paper so that your decision-makers can logically understand what is being claimed.
Personal experience has indicated to me that poor communication, lack of project logs and sign in sheets, lack of logging in materials brought on site have made it all but impossible to quantify the maximum potential effort a vendor could have given. This is something different from the actual work in place as sometimes a lack of productivity is now being brought into play because an area is not ready to be worked on when it was supposed to and or conditions were materially different than what was anticipated. This and many other factors play a role in how a construction claim can be viewed.
While we do not replace your management team, or your legal team we know play the role of an independent third-party looking at it with a fresh set of eyes and no vested interest. This will sometimes assist the management team in making painful decisions quickly. Sometimes although not necessarily morally correct, a clean set of eyes can help you come to a financially correct decision before too much money is spent.
The only ones that ever make the decisions are your management team & your legal team. We only assist in providing an unbiased point of view & raw data.
What we can help with is: We are able to Provide the Standardized Format Reports
1. Square Foot Cost Estimate Report.
2. Assemblies Cost Estimate Report.
3. Line Item Takeoff Cost Estimate Report. 16 or 50 CSI
Estimating from paper plans can be done, but is slower and slightly more costly.
Computer Takeoffs are quicker and less expensive & slightly more accurate. Our preference is Adobe PDF or Tiff files preferably color.
We have the ability of utilizing many databases including the RS means database below are some of the entities that have used the RS means database as part of the estimating services.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, US Coast Guard, National Guard Armory's, GSA, Pentagon, U.S. Department of Energy, FEMA, U.S. Department of Labor, City of Miami, Portland Cement Association, Georgia Pacific, Alcan, Cable, Institute for Water Resources, NIBS, VA Healthcare, Hunt Building Corporation.

Cost estimating is realizing various stages for various reasons below are some generic definitions of the types and styles of estimates that are available& what can be expected from them.
Initially a conceptual or budgetary estimate is done with limited information for the purpose of having a general idea of what to give an undertaking may cost.
As designers continue to design & owners provide more input the design continues to develop the bells and whistles and desires have a tendency to grow. Solutions tend to cost money. As the design develops, estimates become more detailed and that can become part of an integrated value engineering process throughout the design phase. At the end of the schematic design and design
development stages, the cost estimator generally produces a more comprehensive project cost estimate as the project should now be better detailed & defined.
