Cost Consulting
& Estimating
Establishing accurate budgets and maintaining project costs is one of the most challenging aspects of project development. KCM develops highly-detailed estimates from inception of the project through completion of construction documents.

Our Process:

Analyze the drawings and create a complete quantity survey necessary to construct the project.
02
Review local labor practices and wage rates to develop appropriate production rates and unit costs.

Analyze the logistical constraints of the site to factor project specifics into pricing.

Develop estimates by area or by trade using quantity surveying and unit pricing based upon locale, labor availability, wages and project specific data.
