Estimating Process Flow

Our Estimating Process Flow
Ensuring Compliance and Mitigating Risk at Every Stage
We follow a structured and detail-oriented estimating process to ensure that every project is compliant with industry regulations and that all foreseeable risks are accounted for. This approach helps our clients make informed decisions, control costs, and reduce project uncertainties.
🔁 1. Project Scope Review
Obtain and analyze project drawings, specifications, and client requirements.
Identify all disciplines involved (e.g. HVAC ducting, scaffolding, asbestos removal).
Clarify ambiguous or missing information through RFIs (Requests for Information).
🧾 2. Compliance Assessment
Review relevant regulations and standards (e.g. Asbestos Abatement Regulations, SANS codes).
Confirm environmental, health, and safety requirements.
Ensure all works are aligned with applicable legal, technical, and quality standards.
📊 3. Quantity Take-Off (QTO)
Perform detailed measurements from drawings and specs.
Use digital tools (e.g. DuctPro for HVAC) for accurate material and labour quantification.
Include all direct and indirect costs related to material, equipment, and labour.
🛡️ 4. Risk Identification & Mitigation
Identify potential project risks (site access, weather delays, hazardous materials, etc.).
Apply contingency allowances where appropriate.
Incorporate risk mitigation strategies into the estimate and methodology.
🧮 5. Costing & Rate Build-Up
Source up-to-date pricing for materials, labour, plant, and equipment.
Build rates based on current market trends and supplier input.
Include preliminaries, overheads, and profit margins.
🔍 6. Internal Review & Quality Check
Perform internal peer reviews to ensure accuracy and completeness.
Validate compliance with scope, regulations, and client requirements.
📄 7. Final Estimate Submission
Compile and format the estimate into a professional report or BOQ.
