Estimating

Precision, Transparency and Value in Every Estimate

Estimating is a critical step in establishing a project’s budget and ensuring it remains on schedule and within scope. It defines the complete scope of work while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality and efficiency. At Kraus-Anderson, estimating is central to making informed lifecycle choices for every building, with the greatest influence on construction costs occurring during pre-construction.

Leveraging Technology for Real-Time Costs

Using industry-leading estimating software platforms, we develop detailed line-item cost estimates at various design stages. This approach ensures projects stay within budget and on schedule without compromising safety, liability or quality. Real-time insights enable proactive decision-making that keeps projects on track.
