Our Approach....

JLB Estimating Services is a professional consultancy specializing in providing detailed construction cost estimates. We provide our clients, both public and private institutions throughout the United States & Canada, with expert, data-driven advice on their construction projects. Henceforth, our approach is built upon the rigorous guidelines set forth by the American Society of Professional Estimators (ASPE) to create objective, reliable, and industry trusted assessments of probable construction costs.

Our estimating process is forward-thinking and predictive in nature. There are many factors that influence construction cost estimate reports such as including current labor rates, material prices, and site constraints. Additionally, there are external factors such as macroeconomic trends and current political landscape that can influence the construction cost estimate report. We also consider market volatility, commodity prices, and the current availability of labor for a given project location.

With the majority of our client base coming from the architectural & engineering community as well as the construction industry, we have significant experience providing comprehensive cost estimating services at each level of design development. Our Cost Managers are experts at developing detailed construction cost estimates from the early conceptual programming levels – where there is minimal detail on plans – through the schematic design, design development, and fully detailed construction document levels of design.

We assess our Client’s needs on a project-by-project basis. As a result, each deliverable we submit varies in level of granularity. To meet the specific needs of our Clients, our construction cost estimate reports are specifically tailored to create a clear understanding of probable construction costs.
