Early Estimated Cost and Cost Savings

The SingleSource design/builder, working closely with the owner can accurately conceptualize the completed project at an early stage. Continuous and concurrent estimating and familiarity with construction techniques makes early cost decisions possible resulting in a firm overall cost sooner. In fact maximum savings (75%) occur during planning in an informed cost-based environment - not during bidding and construction.

Traditional project delivery operates under the prevailing perception that choosing a contractor through competitive hard bid is the best way to insure the lowest price. This is simply not true. In fact, if you save more than 10% through bidding, there is probably a problem with the accuracy and interpretation of your bid documents.
