Which Types of Commercial Estimates We Cover
Here is the list of some types of commercial estimates we provide.
Conceptual Design Estimates
Conceptual design estimates are the first step in planning a project. They help us evaluate the costs. For example, if you want to build a new shop, we look at similar projects nearby. In California, these costs can change a lot, usually by 10% to 20%.
We collect local information to make these estimates. This includes costs for construction, permits, and materials. In California, building costs can be $200 to $400 for each square foot. By doing this early, we help clients see if their budget fits their plans. This step is important to avoid surprises later.


Commercial Preliminary Cost Estimates
Commercial preliminary cost estimates give a clearer view of business project costs. After the first estimates, we get more details. We check specific rules, like California’s Building Code. The implementation of these rules might add around 10% to energy-efficient systems’ costs, but they support a positive shift towards sustainability.
We also look at local labor costs, which can be $30 to $70 per hour for skilled workers. Material prices can change quickly too. By giving these estimates, we help businesses plan better. This way, clients can decide if they need to change their plans or find more money.
Schematic Design Estimates
Schematic design estimates refine our earlier work and give detailed plans. We outline the layout and materials needed. By addressing local concerns like earthquakes, California may see a 5% to 15% increase in costs, but this investment ensures stronger, safer infrastructure.
During this phase, we work with architects and engineers. They help us spot potential problems. By prioritizing timelines, we ensure that any potential delays are minimized, keeping monthly cost increases to a manageable 2% to 5%. This step helps us match the design to the budget so clients know what to expect.


Pre-Construction Final Estimates and Budgets
Pre-construction final estimates and budgets are key for success. Here, we finalize all costs and get ready for construction. We combine earlier estimates into a full budget. In California, we often add 10% for unexpected expenses.
We review contracts and talk to suppliers about prices. Material costs can change a lot, especially for lumber. By making a solid budget, we help clients avoid money problems and keep their projects on track.
Design Development Estimates
Design development estimates focus on improving the project design. This phase is important because it turns ideas into real plans. We make sure the design fits the budget. California’s local rules, which can contribute about 5% to costs, help ensure that we deliver projects that align with community values.
We ask for feedback on the design from the team. If changes happen, we adjust our estimates. We also choose materials, often looking for eco-friendly options. These can cost more at first but save money later on.


Budget Creation
Creating a budget is a key part of any project. A good budget helps manage costs well. In California, we list costs for labor, materials, and permits.
We work with clients to make a budget that fits their needs. This ensures everyone understands financial goals. By staying organized, we help clients stay on track and reduce money stress.
Value Engineering
Value engineering helps you get better value while lowering costs. We look for ways to improve the project and save money.
We also focus on eco-friendly practices. California supports green building, which may cost more at first but saves money later on energy bills. Our goal is to give clients the best value without losing quality.


Material Takeoffs
Material takeoffs are important for getting accurate cost estimates. This step lists all the materials needed and their costs. In California, we check local prices because they can change quickly. For example, concrete may cost $100 to $150 per cubic yard.
By doing good takeoffs, we help clients avoid overspending. This step helps contractors buy the right materials. Good material management can save 35% to 45% on overall costs. Accurate takeoffs keep projects within budget.
Bid Filing and Managing Bidding Network Profiles
For busy commercial contractors, we provide bid filing services. We prepare all the documents needed. In California, it is important to file bids on time. We make sure everything is submitted on time. Good bid filing can reduce delays by 20%. This helps projects start faster and stay on budget. We also manage bidding profiles as well. Our goal is to make bidding easy and help clients find the best contractors.
