Understanding General Contractor Estimating

GC estimating requires a comprehensive view of the project. We do more than merely add up numbers. We construct GC estimations that are well-organised, well defined, and defendable.

Estimat’EM approaches GC estimating with a project-wide mindset, ensuring nothing critical is overlooked, from indirect costs to complex trade coordination.

  • Multi-trade coordination
  • General conditions and indirect costs
  • Project logistics and phasing
  • Risk exposure and scope gaps
