Comprehensive Commercial Estimating Services
For Commercial Developers
Preliminary Commercial Estimates
At Green Build Estimator, we help commercial developers assess project feasibility even before detailed plans are created. With our extensive portfolio of multi-million-dollar evaluations, advanced software expertise, and historical cost data, we provide reliable preliminary estimates and feasibility reports for developers, investors, and property owners.
Pre-Construction Final Commercial Estimates
Once construction drawings are complete, contractors and subcontractors begin submitting bid proposals. But how can developers be confident that these bids reflect true market value? Our highly detailed pre-construction estimates serve as a benchmark for fair negotiations, accurate fund allocation, and effective cost management. We ensure developers have the insights needed to make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary overruns.
For Commercial Architects & Designers
Design-Phase Estimates
Our estimating team collaborates closely with architects and designers to provide cost evaluations for multiple design alternatives throughout the project lifecycle. From conceptual and schematic design to design development and construction documents, we deliver estimates that align with client budget goals, helping prevent overruns and costly design changes. We also review drawings and specifications to identify errors, omissions, and trade inconsistencies, ensuring accuracy before construction begins.
Budget Creation
Budget planning is at the core of architectural design. At Green Build Estimator, we support architects and designers by generating realistic budget estimates during the design phase. Simply share your schematic or design development drawings, and our team will create accurate, phase-based budget projections to guide your planning process.
For Commercial Design-Build Firms
Design-build firms carry dual responsibility for both design and construction. This demands early and accurate cost control. At Green Build Estimator, we provide specialized design-build estimates and value engineering services that account for every cost factor—even when designs are only 50% complete. Our comprehensive design-build estimates include:
• Architectural, engineering, and mechanical design costs
• Drafting service charges
