The preliminary estimated cost of a building is determined by the area and length dimensions of various structural components. Additionally, the overall square footage of the site plays a key role in estimating the approximate cost of constructing homes, plazas, or multi-story buildings. Many clients request a preliminary cost estimate from contractors, as it provides an initial understanding of the overall expenses involved in completing the project. This is where our Preliminary Estimating Services prove invaluable.

As a result, the estimate is based on the following:

🗹  Total building square footage

🗹  Measurements in Lines

🗹  Measurements of Surface (Rooms, Floors, etc.)

This is supported by a detailed estimate that includes a comprehensive list of all building materials and requirements. The complete BOQ (Bill of Quantities) can be priced based on the cost of each item, such as masonry, concrete, and other specific construction components. This allows for precise estimation of the overall budget for the building project. By entering the unit cost into a quantity takeoff worksheet, the total budget can be accurately determined. Most clients request cost-filled BOQs from contractors to ensure transparency and precision.

Our Preliminary Estimation Services include Material Takeoff Sheets, which are available in various formats online. These sheets can be used to generate a preliminary budget estimate during the early stages of project planning. Typically, these estimates are based on templates and formats from previous projects, which are then adjusted to fit the specific requirements and scope of the new project. The unit cost can vary depending on factors such as the type of construction, the project area, the site location, the significance of the project, and the construction techniques used.
