Services
Eleven lines of work,two disciplines.
One half measures and prices construction. The other half gets the same contractors found and makes them look like the firm they actually are. Most clients start with one and end up using both.
How they fit together
On the construction side a job runs in the same order every time. The set arrives and gets reviewed before anything else, because a set with missing sheets cannot be priced honestly. Then the quantities get measured. If you price your own work, that is where it stops. If you want a number, the quantities carry into the estimating workbook. If you are bidding public work, the bid and proposal documents get built to the form you were issued.
Shop drawings sit apart from that sequence. They are bought by a different person, a fabricator or a trade sub rather than a bidding contractor, and they are worked from the contract documents after award rather than before.
The digital side runs on its own timescale and usually starts after we have already worked together. It exists because the same buyer needs both, and because a firm that prices your work does not have to be taught what your website has to say.
The fee
The fee is quoted before the work starts
Every construction engagement begins with a written fee and turnaround for the work itself, stated in United States dollars. You approve it, then it starts.
Construction and engineering services
We measure, price, model, draw and review from issued documents, across all CSI divisions. We do not build, we hold no contractor licence, we are not the engineer of record, and we make no site visits. That independence is the point of hiring us.
- 01Estimating & TakeoffAll CSI divisions. Measured quantities and a live workbook you can edit, not a PDF with a number at the bottom.
- 02BIM ModelingRevit models and coordination, built from the issued documents so the model and the estimate agree.
- 03Engineering ServicesTechnical support and review behind the numbers and the drawings. No design of record by this firm.
- 04Shop DrawingsSteel, tile and masonry submittals, cropped from the engineer’s own sheets and never redrawn.
- 05Plan & Scope ReviewWe read every page and tell you what is missing before anybody prices it.
- 06Bid & Proposal SupportUnit price schedules, schedules of values and alternates, built to the bid form you were issued.
Digital services
Websites, search and advertising for construction businesses. This half exists because the same buyer needs both, and because a firm that prices your work already understands what your website has to say.
- 07Web Design & DevelopmentSites for contractors, built by the people who price contractors’ work.
- 08SEOTechnical audits and content built around the searches your buyers actually run.
- 09Google AdsCampaign structure, negatives and conversion tracking, with the budget under control.
- 10Social MediaProfiles and a posting rhythm that show finished work instead of stock photographs.
- 11BrandingA mark, a palette and a type system, locked to exact values you can hand to anyone.
