|
| Negotiating Stage: |
At this time, our Chief Estimator will approximate the cost of the project from design development sketches, if requested, or from the working drawings. He will research and document cost saving measures on construction techniques and materials providing options and alternatives to the owner and architect. During this time the estimator continuously strives to accommodate the owner's budgetary constraints while maintaining project design integrity.
|
| Pre-Construction Stage: |
The Estimator will prepare detailed materials lists and scope of work to be bid on by prospective suppliers and subcontractors. He will also generate a complete computerized cost breakdown detailing the derivation of the Contract Sum. At this stage, many potential construction problems will be marked for special attention and/or resolved.
|
| Construction Stage: |
At this stage, your project will be handled by one of our Project Managers who will prepare a schedule to govern the project and closely monitor the schedule, budget, and quality of construction being performed by Buestad Construction's employees and subcontractors. Subcontract and Purchase Order agreements will be prepared and enforced throughout construction. The Project Manager will coordinate with all governmental agencies and public utilities. Working with the Superintendents, Architects, and Owners, he will see that the architectural intent of the project and its timely and on-budget completion are both achieved.
