We empower clients to make informed decisions
With our extensive experience building and estimating costs for architectural homes, we're confident you will experience an informed and considered pre-construction budget that will empower all stakeholders to design and build a project that meets a common goal of architectural significance while maintaining budget alignment.
This service is born out of a passion for design and the desire to see beautiful architecture built. Through nearly two decades of building experience with some of Vancouver's premier builders and architects, it became apparent that the path to achieving the most considered level of design while maintaining budget alignment requires a robust approach.
-
001 - Preliminary budgeting
Typically completed before permit submission, this exercise clearly articulates the scope and the associated costs in valuable detail. This gives stakeholders the information to make informed decisions before the design is developed further.
-
002 – Pre-construction tendering
This phase can start upon receipt of the issue for pricing (IFP) drawing package. The package encompasses a diverse set of drawings, including architectural, structural, geotechnical, and performance engineering consultants, as well as interior design drawings and documentation. The primary objective of this exercise is to attain competitive pricing across multiple scopes. The ultimate goal is to have as much as 75% of the budget fixed-priced and quoted by trades, thereby ensuring both a considered and a cost-effective outcome.
-
003 - Project reporting
Consistent reporting on costs & schedule is critical to keeping stakeholders in the driver’s seat. This exercise enables stakeholders to have visibility on how the project is tracking both financially and to the completion date. With an easy-to-digest one-page summary and supporting documentation, it provides clarity without getting into the weeds.
