Plan the work
Conceptual budgets, quantity takeoffs, and trade-level estimating. Scope assumptions, exclusions, contingencies, and allowances.
Preconstruction, estimating + procurement
Make cost decisions with the scope in view.
PRM connects feasibility, estimating, constructability, procurement, and scheduling before construction commitments are made. Estimates are developed around stated quantities, assumptions, exclusions, market inputs, and the level of design information available.
“
Clear scope, coordinated information, and accountable decisions from planning through delivery.
What PRM brings
What to bring to the first conversation.
Coordinate the details
Bid package preparation and scope descriptions. Bid leveling, qualifications, exclusions, and clarification records.
Carry it through
Constructability reviews and design-interface workshops. Phasing and logistics input for occupied or constrained sites.
Concept budgets + detailed estimates
Early budgets support feasibility; detailed estimates support specific purchasing and construction decisions. PRM organizes costs by scope and trade, distinguishes allowances from defined work, and makes the estimate basis visible. Quantity information is reconciled to drawings, specifications, and models.
- Conceptual budgets, quantity takeoffs, and trade-level estimating
- Scope assumptions, exclusions, contingencies, and allowances
- Alternates and value-analysis options with functional impacts
- Estimate updates at design and procurement milestones
Bid packages + procurement coordination
Procurement decisions require comparable scopes. PRM helps organize bid information, clarify inclusions, track responses, and review gaps or overlaps. Long-lead equipment, approval dependencies, fabrication periods, and delivery constraints are incorporated into the project schedule.
- Bid package preparation and scope descriptions
- Bid leveling, qualifications, exclusions, and clarification records
- Equipment and material lead-time tracking
- Submittal, approval, fabrication, and delivery milestones
Constructability + readiness for construction
Preconstruction closes the gap between a design intention and an executable work package. The team reviews access, sequence, interfaces, temporary conditions, owner decisions, and unresolved information. Recommendations identify the cost or schedule issue and the decision required to resolve it.
- Constructability reviews and design-interface workshops
- Phasing and logistics input for occupied or constrained sites
- Risk and decision registers linked to milestones
- Procurement readiness and release-package reviews
Working relationship
What to bring to the first conversation.
PRM tailors the deliverables, participating disciplines, and level of support to the assignment. Share what is available; the team will identify missing inputs, confirm responsibilities, and define the next useful milestone.
- Available drawings, specifications, models, and quantity information
- Budget objectives, alternates, and procurement strategy
- Location, schedule, access constraints, and existing bids
Common questions
Define the next step.
Can this service be part of a broader PRM assignment?
Yes. PRM can coordinate this scope with the other architecture, engineering, BIM, and construction services required for the project. The proposal identifies the included deliverables, responsibilities, assumptions, and milestones.
What if the project is already in progress?
Send the current drawings, open issues, review comments, and immediate deadline. PRM will first assess the available information and define a practical scope for joining the work.
Bring the real constraint
Let’s define what the project needs next.
Share the location, current documents, target milestone, and the decision that cannot slip.
