Cost Estimating

ACCURATE COSTS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

ACCURATE COSTS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

The backbone of any construction organization is its estimating capabilities, so we prioritize accuracy and it starts with the initial concept design. Each phase of the design process must be estimated correctly to ensure that the design is tracking properly with the budget at every level, ensuring that there are no surprise costs or necessary re-designs. Our use of Timberline software and historical data provides precise cost estimation which is used as a monitoring mechanism to identify changes in the project scope and address increases or decreases in the construction costs. Our goal is to work diligently with the design team and the owner’s representative to achieve the best possible balance of cost and quality throughout each phase and conclude with a fair and equitable contract sum.

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.

JDR recently partnered with KDW on a build to suit lease for a purpose designed facility to support the growing needs of our expanding business. We could not have been more pleased with the support from their team and the seamless process from the front-end conceptualization phase to the final walkthrough. The integrated model KDW utilizes ensured that the end result met our business needs in line with the agreed budget. I would recommend KDW to anyone considering a new facility project due to their straightforward approach and outstanding level of service.

We could not have picked a better partner, to help us in establishing a productive plant in SW Houston. KDW met with us several times, to develop an understanding of our needs. Once understood, they incorporated our proven program with their local knowledge of Municipality, available Materials, Sub Contractors, and other Project Management Guidance.
