construction management or as a stand-alone service to owners

Carine provides construction cost estimating as a value-add to support construction management or as a stand-alone service to owners. Our team applies over 40 years of construction estimating experience to develop detailed, relevant estimates on projects of many types and sizes.

Carine develops accurate conceptual estimates early in project development to support decisions on capital expenditures. Our estimating team can quickly compare the cost of various project scenarios before design begins. Carine integrates estimate updates with constructability reviews at each design milestone. Our cost estimating skills complement project budgeting throughout the project life cycle.
