While contractors, builders, and developers need clear cost direction early in a project, our preliminary estimating service can help. Our preliminary estimates are based on current pricing trends and realistic project assumptions because labor rates, material prices, and market conditions can change quickly. We prioritize cost visibility before detailed drawings. Our preliminary estimates include labor, materials, allowances, time factors, and regulatory considerations. This approach helps you evaluate project feasibility, plan budgets, and make informed decisions before proceeding.
Choosing COMET Estimating gives you practical advantages that keep your project planning clear, controlled, and on track from the earliest stage.
