Estimating & Bidding Phase

Based upon the needs of the client, Bruns-Gutzwiller would establish a conceptual budget prior to design, as early as the schematic and design phase. As the building design becomes solidified, a more detailed estimate will be established to provide the owner timely information as to the estimated cost of the project. We will also evaluate all bids and bidders.

Each of these stages is performed and checked using a network of personal computers and shared database of regional constructikon costs, as well as our company’s own historical cost data.
