At The Primestone Group, we understand the construction process inside and out. Too often, cost estimators are brought in after the design has been finalized, leading to redesigns and delays. To avoid this, an effective strategy is bringing in a cost estimator on board right at the beginning. This isn’t just best practice, it’s how The Primestone Group guarantees budget confidence for your project. Early Cost Involvement Engaging cost estimators at the start of a project provides benefits including: Risk Mitigation: Identifying cost drivers early prevents surprises later on. We can flag materials or scopes that present budget threats. Informed Decision Making: Early estimates allow for multiple design concepts against targeted budgets before too much time is invested. Value Engineering: Providing the team early analysis on different systems, materials and options. The Primestone Way At The Primestone Group, our team acts as proactive partners. We help the design team stay on budget by having constant communication with the team throughout the life of the project. Our team has access to in-depth cost data bank and “real time” cost and production information. We work closely with local contractors and vendors for instant market feedback. This allows us to accurately forecast costs, anticipate price hikes, address supply issues, and secure accurate pricing for major equipment. Ready to discuss your next project?
