Episode description

Pricing design/build projects poses unique challenges.

First, every project is custom – the existing conditions, the team members, the clients, the design solutions, the access. Second, we have to bring costing together from a myriad of sources including distributors, trade specialists, and direct providers often 6 months before we even start the project. Third, we should break down our estimates into cost codes and segments so that we can better compare actual to estimated costing to inform future adjustments.

Learn how Case estimates over 700 projects/schemes per year and manages to stay within one or two points of the estimating cost.
