Value Engineering

As the monetary cornerstones of contract pricing agreements, accurate construction bid estimates are often the lynch pin of a project’s success. As such, Spire provides value engineering consulting services. Whether you seek value-added construction estimates for your current project, you need assistance selecting between multiple bid packages or you simply desire validation of a selected bid before entering into contract, Spire’s professionals have the experience to help you make the right decision.

Developing accurate construction bid estimates requires a comprehensive understanding of project costs and factors that impact project costs, along with knowledge of the estimating process. In the end, our estimating team addresses three primary concerns:

  • How many? (quantities)
  • How much? (pricing)
  • How long? (productivity)

With our methodical, yet practical approach Spire’s construction bid estimates include quantity take-offs to answer “how many,” market-factored pricing to answer “how much,” and scheduling services to answer “how long.” In addition, our estimating expertise qualifies us to evaluate and analyze submitted bids for possible errors or shortcomings. Regardless of your estimating needs, Spire has the services to hold the lynchpin in place.
