Construction Cost Estimating Consultants Directory

Forecasting construction costs is one of the most challenging steps in the pre-construction process. Estimators must calculate costs of materials, equipment and labor for the entire life cycle of a project. Adding to the difficulty of the task, costs vary in price based on a project’s location, size and type. Many contractors rely on construction estimating software to help lighten the load; others choose to outsource this function to outside consulting firms.

For companies that want to contract out their estimating work, here is a directory of estimating services to help you get started. If you know of a good consultant, or simply want to list your own firm, email me at houston@softwareadvice.com.
