During the Design Development Stage, the project estimate begins to take on a more defined shape. Certain detail appears in our estimate that shapes the final cost of the project. At the Final Stage, Cost Concepts produces a highly detailed estimate that is supplemented with various qualifications and price quotations. The qualifications list that we develop is a list of items that alert the Owner and design teams of possible change orders once the project is bid. This prompts the design team to review and adjust the documents, accordingly, avoiding cost
extras or overruns.
