Estimating/Budgeting
Sherwood Mechanical’s dedication to its clients begins well before the contract is even awarded. From conceptual drawings to plans and spec projects, we provide our customers with a detailed scope of work and project pricing. We review all project documents and plans in order to provide our clients a complete and competitive budget or bid in the time frame that they require.
Our estimating team will:
- Provide pricing for conceptual drawings, design build, and plans and specs
- Provide detailed pricing breakout
- Lump sum payment, GMP, T & M, unit pricing etc.
- Provide a detailed scope of work based on project documents
- Manage scope and costs associated with a budget proposal as the project evolves
- Provide project specific proposals as needed, including prequalification information, project team, experience, references, schedule coordination, preliminary systems analysis and project alternatives
Value Engineering
We help our clients complete each and every project in the most cost effective and professional manner possible. We prefer to work with our clients in a proactive, rather than reactive manner. Just one method we use to emulate this goal is value engineering. Through value engineering we are able to help our clients reduce both construction (material and labor) and operating costs. The process of value engineering begins at the onset of the bid process and continues through the completion of the project.
Value Engineering at a Glance:
- Reduced construction costs
- Reduced operating costs
- Improved constructability
- lternative fixtures, systems, equipment and pipe
- Professional value engineering submittals and drawings for clear understanding
LEED
Building with our community’s sustainable future in mind, we offer LEED Accredited Professional assistance and participation for our clients and their projects. We help determine costs of specific LEED contributing fixtures, equipment, and systems that impact payback period calculations and aid in developing design build scenarios including constructability.
