PRECONSTRUCTION SCOPING & ASSET ASSESSMENT

PRECONSTRUCTION SCOPING

We apply predictive cost modeling and zero-assumption document analysis to produce a line-item budget, risk map, and ready-to-bid scope. You start execution with certainty instead of rough estimates.

THE PROBLEM
Most capital projects are priced on assumptions. Then the change orders arrive.

Incomplete drawings, unverified site conditions, and optimistic budgets turn into cost overruns and disputes once the work is underway. The most expensive mistakes are the ones made before anyone breaks ground — when they’re still cheap to fix.

THE SOLUTION
We build a complete scoping package ready-to-ship to bidders. You get accurate quotes that won't change later.

As a General Contractor, we know what needs to be in a bid package to produce a solid price. We prepare a detailed scope package ready for builders to submit accurate estimates that won’t change later down the line.

WHAT'S INCLUDED — EVERY TIER

Ready-to-bid scope of work

A standardized package you can put straight out to trades.

RFI register

Every documentation gap captured as a resolvable question.

WHY DRAFT
A data scientist runs the model

Predictive methods most GCs simply don’t have in-house.

Zero-assumption analysis

Every figure cites a document. Gaps are flagged, never guessed.

Fee credits to execution

Scoping isn’t a sunk cost — it rolls into your prime contract.
