Why Invest in ICI as the
Construction Estimator for Your Project?
With over 30 years of providing independent
estimating services and with completing over 700
estimates per year for all types of projects and
clients, ICI has the experience and knowledge to
consistently deliver accurate estimates.
Save time and money, while having the
reassurance of knowing that your design process
is both time and cost efficient. The design
process is critical because even though it
comprises only 5 – 10% of the entire project
cost, it directly affects the remaining 90 – 95%
of the project cost. A small investment in ICI’s
estimating services ensures positive long-term
results and maximum cost savings.
ICI Estimates provide line item and unit prices
to help evaluate the cost components that make
up the total cost. This comprehensive method
assists in evaluating materials / systems that
allow for Value Management of the project. Other
beneficial aspects of our estimates include:
- We can provide personal,
customizable estimates that are
summarized and easy to read.
- We have the ability to forecast
prices into the future in order
to give an accurate estimate for
future construction.
- We also can adjust prices to
accurately reflect any area/region
You will have an accurate, unbiased, and
independent budget, which will be available for
use in comparison to contractor bids. Since you
will have accurate cost analyses in each area of
the project, you will know that you are getting
a competitive bid for services and / or
materials.
We will use our independent estimate for
reconciliation meetings with the architect,
owner, and contractor that allow us to go
through the estimates and compare them item by
item, confirming that the entire scope is
covered and also helping to identify any unclear
or problem areas in your design.
ICI’s services are most beneficial at the early
stages of design, giving Architect and Owners an
accurate estimate so that they can stay within
their budget. This saves time and expense later
by preventing the need for redesign when the
project is in the later phases, when changes are
much more difficult to implement.
Design firms, individual architects,
corporations, and colleges/universities
regularly return to ICI for their Construction
Estimating needs. They have grown to understand
and trust in our expertise and fundamental
abilities to save them money and allow them to
easily understand the cost process throughout
construction. |
