1. Tailored Estimation Methods for Different Infrastructure Projects?

For Buildings:

Costs are calculated per square foot, cubic foot, room, or resident to create an accurate estimate.

For Highways and Roads:

Estimates are based on the length per kilometer, accounting for layer thickness and construction materials.

For Irrigation Channels:

Preliminary costs are prepared per kilometer or hectare, depending on the project’s irrigation area.

     2. Preparing a Preliminary Estimate for Construction Projects?

Our preliminary estimates are based on key dimensions, including building area, room sizes, and structural lengths. This approach allows clients to gain a clear understanding of overall expenses early in the process.

Key Elements of a Preliminary Estimate:

• Total building square footage.
• Surface area measurements (rooms, floors, etc.).
• Line measurements for structural components.

The process involves detailed material takeoffs and a complete Bill of Quantities (BOQ), which lists all construction materials and their associated costs. BOQs are formatted for easy pricing by entering unit costs, providing clients with precise budget estimates.

     3. How Our Preliminary Estimation Process Works?

Our process uses advanced tools and proven templates to generate accurate budgetary estimates during the planning phase. By reusing and customizing previous templates, we provide tailored spreadsheets that align with each project’s scope and requirements.

Steps to Submit Your Plans:

1. Submit plans and specifications via Dropbox, email, or our online form.
2. Request a detailed quote with cost breakdowns, lead times, and delivery schedules.
3. Receive your completed estimate in a customized spreadsheet template or your preferred format.
