Pre-Construction Services — Win the Bid. Nail the Budget.
Takeoffs · Estimates · Budgets · Constructability Reviews
Most projects are won or lost long before groundbreaking. Whether you're a contractor bidding the job, a developer or owner setting a budget, or a town scoping a public project, our pre-construction services give you accurate quantities, real-cost estimates, and flaw-catching reviews — usually in 24–48 hours.
What's included
- Earthwork & Site Takeoffs — Precise cut/fill volumes, material quantities, and color-coded cut/fill maps (Earthworks).
- Full Cost Estimating — Complete bid packages in B2W built on your labor, equipment, material, and trucking rates.
- Constructability "Mistake-Finding" Reviews — We catch engineering flaws and conflicts in the plans before they become change orders.
- Bid Preparation & Strategy — Assumptions & exclusions, profit & overhead, a clean submission-ready number.
- Project Budgets & Value Engineering — Early-stage budget numbers and cost-saving alternatives for owners, developers, and municipalities.
- Municipal & Owner Meeting Support — We attend town, city, and planning & zoning board meetings, pre-bid walks, and public hearings to represent the project and answer technical questions.
- The Pre-Dirt 5 Check — Every takeoff runs through our five-point bid-accuracy check: cut/fill balance, utilities, stripping, subgrade, and scope gaps.
Who it's for
- Contractors — win more bids without the overhead of an in-house estimator.
- Developers & owners — independent budgets and value engineering before you commit capital.
- Municipalities & public agencies — reliable civil/road estimates from a woman-owned firm.
