What We Offer

  • The project's scope, timeline, and objectives are carefully analyzed, allowing our team to create a preliminary estimate that outlines potential costs for materials, labor, permits, and more. This comprehensive financial overview is essential for evaluating financial feasibility and establishing clear expectations early on.

    VM Construction Consulting leverages an extensive database of historical and current costs from both local and international markets. This resource enables us to provide accurate forecasts and insightful analyses for your project’s parameters.

    Initial budgets are generally used to secure contracts, adhere design to budget and set preliminary pricing.  Final budgets generally follow preliminary budgets.

  • As the project develops, we refine the initial estimate into a detailed budget that reflects material specifications, nuanced finishes and other details from final Architectural, Structural, Civil, Landscape and Interior Design plans. Our detailed budget goes beyond general estimates, offering precise cost tracking for every phase of the project. Final budgets are generally a successor of preliminary budgets.

  • A construction takeoff quantifies the materials needed for a project based on its plans. This includes concrete, lumber, steel, and smaller items like plumbing trims, structural fasteners, and finish materials. A detailed takeoff is essential for preparing accurate bids, managing material orders, and preventing costly waste or shortages during construction.

    Whether preparing a bid or planning procurement, our construction takeoff services deliver the precise material estimates needed to keep your project on time and within budget.

  • Produce detailed scope of work (SOW) documents by thoroughly reviewing project drawings and specifications, outlining all required work. These documents include specific task descriptions, quantities, materials, equipment, expectations, responsibilities, and quality standards. By establishing clear expectations, the SOW helps prevent misunderstandings, delays, and costly change orders.

    With our construction Scope of Work services, you can trust that you will receive the most accurate proposals during the RFP process.

  • Prepare bid packages to ensure that the trades and/or vendors have all the necessary documents and specifications required to submit comprehensive bids while collaborating with the client's preferred trades.

    Our Bid Management service helps you efficiently manage the bidding process for construction contracts and subcontractor work, ensuring a transparent and competitive approach to selecting the right partners for your project.

  • Review, level and compare trade and vendor proposals, producing a leveling document.

    Bid leveling is the process of comparing multiple bids by standardizing them to ensure they cover the same scope of work, materials, and labor. Construction bids often vary in their level of detail, pricing structures, and exclusions, making direct comparisons difficult. Our bid leveling service ensures all bids are aligned, giving you a clear and accurate basis for decision-making.

  • High-level scheduling focuses on creating a strategic timeline that maps out the major phases and milestones of your construction project. Unlike detailed day-to-day schedules, a high-level schedule provides an overview of the project’s entire life cycle, helping project owners, contractors, and stakeholders stay aligned on the overall timeline and key deliverables.

    Our expert schedulers develop customized, high-level schedules based on the unique needs of your project, ensuring all critical activities are planned for and executed on time.

  • A post-construction manual, also known as an Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manual, is a comprehensive document that contains all the important details, instructions, and specifications related to the building’s systems, materials, and components. It is an essential resource for owners and maintenance teams, covering everything from HVAC systems and electrical setups to warranties and owners manuals.

    We work closely with the contractor to gather, organize, and compile all necessary information into a clear, easy-to-use manual.

  • "Outsourcing our budgeting and bidding to VM Construction Consulting has transformed our team. Their expertise filled critical gaps, allowing us to focus on our core strengths while ensuring every project had precise financial estimates.

    VM Construction Consultant's attention to detail and understanding of industry standards provided accurate budgets that significantly improved our bidding accuracy. This enhanced our competitiveness and relieved our team’s stress, knowing we had reliable support for these essential tasks."
