Philosophy

Cost estimating is much more than costs per square foot and unit pricing. Rather, it’s a boots-on-the-ground assessment that surveys first-hand actual site conditions against plans and surveys along with proposed project scopes and goals. That, coupled with seasoned experience ensures near accuracy, which is key for projects to go forward beyond concept development.

What We Do

Esablished in 1999 and SWaM-certified by the Commonwealth of Virginia, CCI provides a comprehensive range of construction cost estimating/engineering and scheduling management services. We specialize in providing preconstruction, construction, and post-construction services to government agencies, owners, A/E firms, landscape architects, and institutions. Our experience includes work on projects of any size including those with values of less than $100,000 to more than $3.0 billion.

We work closely with our clients on their construction projects and provides services on an as-needed basis. The CCI team has experience in all aspects of land planning and facility life cycle, including budget development, programming, design, construction administration, facility operations, and maintenance/management. All of our employees have worked for general contractors, subcontractors, and construction management firms in various capacities. This experience provides a clear understanding of the factors that impact the quality, budget, and schedule of a project.

Further, we have a long history of providing accurate, timely cost estimating and scheduling services to a variety of public and private organizations for new construction, alteration, renovation, and historical restoration projects. This experience also includes pricing and negotiating change orders on construction projects, inspecting work in place, reviewing construction documents, and other similar activities.
