Cost Control & Estimating

Dependable cost estimating is fundamental to the planning and design of any project. Accurate estimates provide vital feasibility and budgetary information, from project inception through to completion of the design process. We ensure against over-expenditure or under-utilization of your dollars.

The Donovan Group provides a consistent and auditable cost estimate on a basis that’s complete and accurate according to the level of engineering completed. We provide a sound cost basis and the comfort level you need to make decisions.

Our involvement in estimating ranges from quality checks on completed estimates, to the development of an all-inclusive owner’s project TIC estimate. This includes (but is not limited to) an estimate basis, owner’s costs and “indirects.”
