EMJ works with clients to develop a project concept from infancy in order to have the confidence needed to move into the design stages of the project. Our team has the ability to transform ideas into 3D representations with cost estimates, allowing the client to determine the best path for their project. 3D-Based Conceptual Estimate
ACTION
RESULT
DISCOVER Obtain project details, including type of job, square footage, initial sketches, etc. CREATE Use gathered information to create a basic, conceptual 3D model. ANALYZE Tie-in to an existing cost database to develop a rough order of magnitude (R.O.M.) cost for the project. COMPARE Present building options to compare costs and constructability.
Our team provides 3D models representing the building(s) and site layout, allowing our clients to better visualize the project. Clients also receive a real-time conceptual cost estimate of the project, which can be adjusted with design alternatives.
BENEFITS Our team provides estimates for varying project locations, designs and sizes so that all project stakeholders understand potential costs before moving into full design.
During follow-up meetings, models are adjusted and reworked to reflect new scenarios and budgets.
Value
Integrating cost data into a model reduces the time taken for quantity take-off and estimation from weeks to minutes, improves the accuracy of estimates, minimizes the incidents for disputes from ambiguities in CAD data, and allows cost consultants to spend more time on value improvement.
