Commercial Building is our founding business and our largest division. Since our inception in 1982 our focus has been on Conceptual Planning, Precision Estimating, Detailed Scheduling, and expert Project Management. We have always seen ourselves as an extension of our client and approach every project with that in mind.
One of our greatest strengths is the ability to value engineer a project to maximize our clients investment. Many times our VE (value engineering) ideas have made a project ‘pencil out’ that originally wouldn’t ‘have had a prayer’.
Budget Estimating and Unit Pricing
In a desire to better serve our clients with quick and accurate budget pricing, we’ve developed a unit-pricing spreadsheet that covers approximately three hundred (300) line items. This allows us to respond quickly and efficiently (sometimes within an hour) to our clients with budget pricing that allows them to beat their competition to the table in presenting lease proposals. The ‘unit-priced’ estimates more accurately represent real costs rather than a ‘shotgun guestimate’ which many times misses the mark. Historically, when we’ve submitted these budgets to our clients (upon which they base their lease proposals), the actual ‘hard bid’ numbers have consistently come in five percent (5%) to fifteen percent (15%) lower, thereby saving our client additional monies. We developed this format over twenty years ago and continue to refine and update it to account for current market conditions.
For your next project or if you have questions about how we might serve you and your particular needs, please contact Scott Reno, President at sreno@cnjcontr.com or Vern Pitts, Jr., VP Construction & Operations at vpitts@cnjcontr.com.
