Conceptual Estimating

Accelerated & Accurate Estimates

Accelerated & Accurate Estimates

Producing a realistic cost analysis at the earliest stage of a project quickly determines if the budget is aligned. We eliminate wasted time and money over-designing a project through our accurate conceptual estimating.

KDW has a tried and true process to define project scope and estimate a reasonable cost for any facility with limited design:

  • Define owner program
  • Create conceptual layout and design
  • Cost control estimate
  • Repeat as necessary to ensure budget and scope best serve the clients requirements

    We use our design-build checklist, historical data and lessons learned from previous projects to streamline the process and reduce questions to the simplest degree. The design and the budget must be married in order to maximize value, and our conceptual estimating process creates that union quickly and efficiently.

  • When Goya realized the need for a large facility capable of heavy production, we knew KDW would be our designs/builder and Houston would be our home. This is our second project in 6 years with KDW and the Goya team considers the KDW team part of our extended family."

    KDW has worked with us on two of our facilities, and we have been more than pleased both times. Their expertise in building for companies in the manufacturing industry resulted in facilities that were optimized for our purposes, resulting in smart layouts and highly-efficient spaces. When it comes to customer service, KDW has been affordable, personable, and timely. We highly recommend KDW for your company’s design/building projects.

    People make the company.  The folks at KDW are talented, professional, friendly, and second to none.  In spite of the full book of business they keep, I never once felt like my calls were ignored, rushed, or unimportant.  Architects, project managers, superintendents.....they were all top-notch.  Our design/build experience with KDW exceeded all our expectations.

    In 2013 WIKA Process Solutions LP and GAYESCO INTERNATIONAL LCC started working with the KDW team to design & build our brand new manufacturing facility on a 13 acre lot in the Pasadena ship channel area. From start (concept & initial renderings) to finish (January 2015 moving in) the KDW team supported us in every step of the way.
