ICE – Independent Cost Estimates
- ICE team members should be involved in the very early stages of the project to perform “over the shoulder reviews” with the design team during design development.
- Early in this process, ICE team members will review the project for budgetary reasons, providing an estimated cost reflective of the early stages of design and offering input on possible value engineering (VE) ideas.
- Constructability reviews and ICE evaluations minimize the owner’s risks associated with cost overruns, delays and problems that may arise during the process.
- Identify issues and resolve them efficiently and economically during the planning and design stages.
Risk Identification Services
- From project inception, PCSInfra helps identify, manage and mitigate risks associated with a construction project, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.
- PCSInfra recognizes that as the complexity of construction and engineering projects change, the magnitude of risk involved for owners, contractors, architects and engineers increases the possibility of negative impacts. Our construction risk consultants adapt to the continuously changing engineering and construction industries while maintaining proven practices and procedures throughout the construction process.
- Whether you are an owner, program manager, contractor, architect or construction manager, PCSInfra’s consultants are equipped to supplement your team’s expertise with additional insight to ensure your project’s success.
