FEMA Cost Estimating Services
An accurate cost estimate is often the difference between success and failure of the disaster recovery process. The correct estimate helps position organizations to make better planning decisions based on real-time, valuable data. When empowered with this knowledge, these types of business choices are made on educated analysis and fact. This provides a much more powerful position to make the right choices and to avoid the serious loss of time and money.
As part of the FEMA cost estimating process, BBS Technical Services utilizes detailed cost estimating resources and software such as RS Means®, PlanSwift® or CostWorks®, to provide an accurate cost estimate.
Typically, all of our estimates include a summary breakdown of costs by CSI Division and a detailed cost breakdown for individual items of construction. Estimates include architectural, electrical, & mechanical. If requested, detailed cost estimates will be developed using the FEMA Cost Estimating Format (CEF)
FEMA Cost Estimating Services Include;
- Quantity Survey/Material Take-off
- Statement of Probable Cost Estimates
- Construction Operations Planning & Project Scheduling
- “Fair and Reasonable” Cost Evaluations, If Necessary
