Estimating

Procure with confidence — know what work should actually cost.

Weaver estimators analyze bids, validate quantities, and benchmark costs against current market rates — so you can make procurement decisions based on data, not optimism.

  • Know whether bids are realistic before you award
  • Catch scope gaps and exclusions before contract execution
  • Benchmark costs across bidders with confidence
  • Set realistic contingencies based on actual project risk

  • Independent Cost Estimates Develop independent estimates at concept, SD, DD, and CD phases to benchmark contractor pricing throughout design.

  • Bid Leveling Level bids from competing contractors to normalize inclusions, exclusions, and assumptions — producing a true apples-to-apples comparison.

  • Quantity Takeoffs Perform detailed quantity takeoffs from drawings to validate contractor quantities and identify discrepancies before award.

  • Market Benchmarking Compare project costs against current market data and comparable projects to assess whether pricing reflects actual conditions.

  • Risk Contingency Analysis Develop quantified risk contingencies based on project-specific conditions, market volatility, and historical performance data.

  • Value Engineering Identify cost reduction opportunities that preserve design intent and functional requirements — evaluated against project-specific constraints.

  • GMP Validation Review GMP proposals from construction managers to validate fee structures, general conditions, and allowance allocations.

  • Procurement Strategy Advise on packaging, sequencing, and delivery method decisions that optimize cost, schedule, and risk allocation for your program.

  • Claim Cost Validation Independently validate cost claims submitted by contractors, providing owners with a reliable basis for negotiation and settlement.
