Cost Comparison

“The cost comparison
showing low, current, and

extremely helpful. Not
something we’ve seen
before from a QS.”

Benefits
Get numbers at concept.
We can work from concept sketches. When teams find out cost implications early everything runs smoother and there is better opportunity to respond to budget challenges.
Manage expecations.
"We tried the full brief but this is what the numbers are showing us."
Keep your relationships healthy.
Noone has a magic wand to reduce build cost. When expectations match reality noone needs to be put under pressure to stretch a budget or shrink costs. Tensions are reduced.
Maintain client motivation.
Concept presented. Excitement! And then a wait for more design and price feedback. A change of mind and a change of heart? Don't wait.
Protect studio momentum.
Documentation planned for work hungry staff. And then and over budget project stalls back to re-design or worse, is lost. Don't let it happen.
