Properly producing detailed cost estimates is critical to any successful project. Milton Design Build can help with all the following estimating routines:

• Complete material quantity take-off and analysis to compare with subcontractors and bidders.
• Complete systems take-off and integrate within projected costs.
• Comparison of different materials and systems from a cost perspective.
• Assist in due diligence and review of alternative systems and materials to reduce costs and maintenance.

Just as critical is the proper development of an overall project schedule. Milton Design Build licensed construction managers assist with all the following tasks:

• Develop early material and system orders for long lead time items.
• Scheduling to coordinate subcontractor trades to insure projects are completed on time.
• Manage proper site work hours for subcontractors to minimize owner disruption and site regulations.

Proper evaluation of lead times and availability of materials and systems enables project managers to successfully complete projects on time. Here’s how Milton Design Build works to insure this.

• Research market conditions for all required materials and systems to determine availability.
• Advise owner and other integrated teams to conduct early bidding for materials with limited availability and/or longer lead times.
• Work with owner and integrated teams to evaluate material and system alternatives that can assist in construction scheduling while maintaining desired outcomes.

Before project start, it’s absolutely necessary that owners, integrated teams and Milton Design Build have signed off project constructability. Here’s how we play a critical role in this process:

• Detailed review of all project plans, documentation, and evaluation of current market conditions to determine if any potential conflicts exist.
• Final review of the owners expectations and scope of project deliverables to confirm project objectives as a whole.
