ESTIMATING
APR Estimators combine the most up-to-date cost data, the most recent trends, and decades of constructability experience to develop accurate cost estimates. Our estimates consistently provide owners what they need to make well informed budget decisions.
DIFFERENTIATORS
PLANNING PHASE
Our methodology starts at the budgetary stage, with a benchmarking process that validates your budget for the entire project lifecycle.
DESIGN PHASE
We always estimate 100% of the project, whether we’re given 1% Design Documents or full Construction Documents.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
We average a 25% reduction in proposed vs. negotiated change orders. That makes for a change order ROI >20:1.
APR estimators average ±0.3% variance in Estimate vs. Bid.
Estimating the Concept
Our team supports scope change requests with detailed estimates identifying cost impacts of the scope change that include associated direct and indirect costs. These estimates are prepared to the same level of detail as final design estimates include labor, material and equipment costs for the direct work as well as extended overheads and other associated costs.
Estimating Through Design
We approach estimating with one salient priority in mind – maximizing your budget and the sustainable lifespan of your built asset. We believe that the final as-built price of the asset and its performance over the intended operational life is of utmost value to the owner. APR is known for considering major factors in the independent cost estimates we provide our clients so that they can make a well-informed budget and funding decision. Our staff are trained to take the initiative to meet with stakeholders and assist in coordination of meetings to gather requirements, obtain consensus on conflicting issues, and consider alternatives.
