Frequently Asked Questions
When should cost estimation start on a project?
As early as possible. Preliminary estimates during planning set realistic budgets; detailed estimates during design keep the budget honest; and BOQs at tender let you compare contractor bids on equal terms.
What is the difference between MTO, QTO, and BOQ?
A Material Take-Off lists materials; a Quantity Take-Off measures all quantities of work; a Bill of Quantities organizes those quantities into a priced tender document. We prepare all three from your design drawings and specifications.
Can you estimate only the MEPF portion of my project?
Yes. MEPF trades are our specialty — we estimate mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection works as a standalone package or alongside infrastructure and utility works.
Do you help evaluate contractor bids?
Yes. Our estimates give you an independent benchmark to evaluate bids against, and we can review contractor quantities and rates for discrepancies during procurement.
