services: ESTIMATING & COST MANAGEMENT

 
 

APC SA has successfully prepared cost estimates on many projects in support of planning, design, construction, renovation, operation and maintenance, as well as change order negotiations and claims support. APC SA ensures accurate estimation of construction costs by involving the engineering staff on A/E and construction project cost estimates. Budgetary and detailed cost estimates are developed in accordance with client’s protocols. Vendor quotes are solicited, where appropriate, local material costs are obtained from suppliers in the vicinity of the project, and labor productivity rates are derived from project experience and history.

 

Cost certainty and control are essential for any client, planning property, construction or infrastructure capital projects or programmes. APC SA's construction and engineering cost estimators provide our clients with detailed quantity takeoffs and pricing from a construction project's conception phase to closeout.

APC SA maintains databases of historical and current construction and engineering cost figures including labor, material, and equipment costs. APC SA is equipped to prepare estimates and/or verify proposed construction costs at various stages throughout the construction process for any project. By identifying and analyzing the project's scope, time, cost, quality, and performance, APC SA develops an accurate assessment of how the construction process is unfolding over the course of its duration.
