Plans, Specifications & Estimates

Plan sets are comprehensive collections of construction drawings that visually communicate the design intent, layout, and technical details of a project. They typically include architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings—each serving a specific purpose to guide contractors, engineers, and inspectors during construction. A well-prepared plan set ensures clarity and coordination among all disciplines, reducing the potential for on-site conflicts or costly revisions. These drawings include key elements such as floor plans, elevations, sections, site layouts, grading, and utility plans, all annotated with dimensions, materials, and relevant construction notes.

Well-prepared specifications help reduce ambiguity, prevent construction disputes, and support accurate bidding by clearly outlining the scope of work for each trade. They typically include general requirements, material descriptions, product standards, execution procedures, and testing or inspection criteria. Our team develops detailed, project-specific specifications that align with the design intent and local regulatory requirements, helping to ensure consistency, durability, and quality throughout the construction process. By integrating specifications with drawings and cost estimates, we create a complete and coordinated package that promotes efficient, cost-controlled project delivery.

We tailor our estimates to reflect the project's level of design development—whether it's a preliminary concept, design development phase, or final construction documentation—allowing clients to track and control costs as the project evolves. Each estimate includes a breakdown of major divisions, quantity take-offs, unit costs, and contingencies to account for potential risks or unknowns. By aligning estimates with design intent and specifications, we help minimize surprises during bidding and construction, keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
