Architectural Cost Estimation Services
Cost Estimation Services for Architects
Architects are great at building plans, but they have yet to learn when pricing construction jobs. General contractors and estimators who work on the building do. This is because cost estimators can pinpoint every element of the construction project to price the job. This information helps both general contractors and design architects. With this information they can plan accordingly and set a proper plan to execute the task at hand.
Construction estimating services is a great way to get clarity when it comes to price jobs and takeoffs. This way clients always know where their money is being spent. With proper estimation the cost can become steep and may cause financial ruin if not careful. So it is imperative for you to partner with an cost estimating service provide that focuses on your budget.
What is Estimation Services for Architects?
The answer is that this is the preferred method when costs are severe and beyond the scope of the architect’s responsibilities and capabilities.
The added benefits of an independent perspective are of great value, and all projects should capitalize on this. Prudent architects should sell this benefit to their clients. Cost estimators are surprised at how frequently this reason is given for not obtaining design-phase cost estimates. Frankly, this is just bad business. Not understanding cost and not designing to a specific budget is inexcusable.
The absence of cost information during design will complicate the owner-architect relationship and bring about many subsequent issues.

How Architectural Cost Estimation Impact the Project?
Both design and cost considerations control the evolution of a design. A project over or under-designed is more likely to occur without the benefits of ongoing, independent evaluation of costs. Only when the final bids are in will the architect and owner realize their disappointment of needing more cost support during design.

Do Contractors Provide Cost Estimation Services to Architects?
Contractors, of course, are very knowledgeable regarding construction means and methods, along with associated costs. However, contractors generally will not do anything for free; if they do, they will not be in business for long. They will be paid somehow. In addition, contractors are unlikely to provide architectural cost estimation services that can be genuinely used for design evaluation. There is nothing wrong with having a contractor or construction manager on board at any time. However, it is always to the benefit of an architect/owner team to have an independent cost assessment.
Does Collaboration Play A Role In Cost Estimation?
A competent cost estimator works in tandem, with limited conflict, alongside the design and pre-construction team. Before dispensing millions of project funds, cost-conscious owners should fully understand and be comfortable with the potential costs.
Each project is a manageable size to evaluate costs. This applies especially in today’s market, where cost savings are essential and imperative. A cost estimate, with a reasonable fee and appropriate level of detail, is critical to any project, regardless of size. A cost estimator with expertise is an integral and invaluable part of your design team.
