Cost Management
DRM’s cost management services provide specialized expertise across project life cycles to reduce client risk, improve value and deliver positive outcomes in all sectors of the built environment.
DRM prepares cost estimates on projects ranging from the thousands to the billions. We collect vendor quotes, local material costs and labor productivity rates from Hill’s experience and history, RS Means and Richardson estimating guides, U.S. Cost Success and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Micro Computer-Aided Cost Engineering System databases. Through this approach, our estimates are among the most accurate and detailed in the industry.
We align ourselves around client sectors to provide industry-relevant advice and specialized expertise. Our integrated approach creates custom-made client teams that bring together technical delivery experts, strategists and other in-house specialists. We work together to achieve viable developments that capture client objectives through value-driven and efficient designs. Costs are controlled through rigorous change management and risk management processes and reporting.
We have access to unprecedented cost data on projects across contexts and sectors. Based on that intelligence and analysis, we’ve developed industry-leading benchmarking data sets on a global basis. Along with our extensive experience and specialist knowledge of end markets and building types, we can provide more accurate advice on the cost implications of client requirements
Representative Services:
- Cost Modeling and Cost Planning
- Benchmarking
- Value and Risk Analysis
- Life-cycle Costing
