Cost Planning & Feasibility Studies

Cost Atelier assists owners and architects in establishing cost plans and feasibility studies to enhance project intelligence & control through the exploration of local market conditions, risk/complexity relationships, programmatic studies, delivery methodologies, and contingency evaluations.  

 

Pre-Construction Services

Cost Atelier's integrated pre-construction services serve to optimize design initiatives by generating an awareness of elemental infusion and cost relationships. Our process is tailored to individual client needs and encompasses estimating services, value optimization studies, and design/metric performance evaluations. The process seeks to enhance project intelligence and allow for methodical cost refinements, while simultaneously maintaining the essence of inspiration.

 

Cost Estimating

Cost Atelier utilizes experienced cost managers to develop highly detailed and comprehensive estimates ranging from the conceptual to that of milestone deliverables. Our tailored services deviate from the industry standard as we work to enhance cost/design intelligence through our collaborative process, instead of producing standard outputs that lack thorough explanations and inter-party reconciliations.

 

Cost Modeling

Cost Atelier's modeling services allow us to forecast fiscal projections relative to prospective solutions in a manner that enhances collective design intelligence. This strategy is less invasive than milestone estimating methodologies yet is still representative of a highly effective medium, thereby avoiding unforeseen budgetary impacts that prove detrimental to project success.

 

Bid Evaluation

Cost Atelier's ability to evaluate and reconcile contractor proposals is unrivaled within the industry. Our philosophy begins with understanding the intricacies associated with trade packages, phasing, and overarching qualifications associated with the project. Once the contextual framework is understood, verification of scope, quantities and pricing are then evaluated in a comprehensive manner. Discrepancies and contested items are identified and presented to the proposing party for reconciliation.
