Budget Development

As part of Red Birds estimating services, we can generate an independent opinion of cost range to help stimulate budget development for early project planning.

 

​

Contract Requirements

Let us help you think through contract requirements to get the most out of your design and construction teams,

 

• Architect Agreements

  • cost as input of design

  • metrics to constitute completion of each design phase

  • sustainability criteria

  • increased time in SD and DD for critical decision making and budget development

  • decreased time in CD because documents have been developed up front in the earlier design phases

  • design team review, comment, and incorporation of CM milestone estimate into the design

 

• GC Precon Agreements

  • proactive approach to cost management during the design phase

  • estimate format and level of detail

  • interim cost analysis & cost trending log

  • value engineering

  • milestone estimates

  • lead time tracking

  • constructability reviews

  • MWBE subcontracting goals
