Cost Estimating
While conceptual project estimating and scheduling can give a rough picture of budget and execution time, a crucial piece of information in initial decision making process – with developing of the project design, final cost and schedule can be determined on a much higher level of detail.
With virtually each building element being modeled, exact quantities can be taken off and precise cost estimates can be made to a detail level of brick and tile. BEXEL provides our proprietary databases of work item unit costs & norms, complying with North American, German or Russian standards, but we also provide the option to work with our clients’ experts on forming legacy databases which can also be used on future projects.
We make sure that nothing is missed by keeping track of material cost changes, laborer salaries, equipment costs and providing accurate sets of work items and assemblies to match each task of constructing a single building element.
Phasing & Scheduling
With precisely defined set of work items per each building element and general construction methodology, our advanced scheduling framework calculates precise construction sequencing and reaches a near-optimal schedule in a matter of minutes, instead of days, or weeks, using traditional scheduling & project management techniques.
With a detailed design in our hands, developing extremely accurate cash flow diagrams is made easy, alongside with other important financial metrics. 5D construction simulations are a deliverable not easy to miss, as architects, owners and investors can easily visualize their projects coming to life before their very eyes.
Dangers such as construction site overcrowding or huge machines being left with no maneuvering space are history. Regardless of design complexity, our teams are prepared to accept the challenge and ensure the project’s success!
