During the pursuit and preconstruction phase of a construction project we assist with quantity estimating and subcontracting bidding process. Our estimating team analyses 2D drawings and 3D models and extracts quantities for different building systems to support cost estimates and to validate estimates shared by Subcontractors thereby further enabling subcontractor buyout. The process involves breaking up cost for different trade work packages, divisions or components and establishing a control estimate which serves as a framework for quantity and cost trending through the project life cycle. vConstruct has extensive experience of providing this services through various stages of design, from schematic design to construction documentation across Healthcare, Commercial Offices, Hospitality, Advanced Technology, Life Sciences, and Higher Education Projects.
