More ways to work together

A second review. A useful introduction.

Independent estimate review

Already have an estimate? Request a separate review of quantities, scope boundaries, pricing assumptions and revision coverage before your next decision.

We agree the trades and review depth first. Your turnover includes referenced findings, items requiring clarification and a prioritized action list. A review does not imply a complete re-takeoff unless that work is included.

Referral collaboration

Have a client who needs preconstruction support, or a project outside your capacity? Introduce the opportunity with the client’s permission. We’ll confirm fit and next steps before accepting work.

Introductions can also connect clients with suitable architects, designers, engineers or contractors. Each professional’s availability, scope and agreement remain separate. Any referral terms are agreed in writing before the introduction.

Discuss a Referral

Trade coverage expands only when a qualified specialist and suitable review capacity are confirmed for the assignment. Technical design and engineering remain with the responsible professionals.
