At Rudolph and Sletten we understand that time is money. That is why we employ highly skilled preconstruction team members and the most innovative technology. The combination of these two factors improves the speed, efficiency and accuracy of our preconstruction services offering you the “best value”.
Real-time Estimating and Cost MonitoringBecause timing is crucial, we treat real-time information as a priority. Our estimators are immediately capable of performing updates without delaying the decision process. Our software system uses detailed project database applications to integrate important information from every project, so that vital information can be communicated to the design team and clients in hours rather than days. The use of estimating software allows us to create a dynamic work space where scheduling and estimating can be integrated into BIM models. This combination of information provides highly accurate, real-time earned value reporting. Our Estimating Department provides the following services during Preconstruction:
Detailed Milestone Cost Estimates at all design phases
Reconciling Estimates to Independent Cost Consultants
Continuous Cost Estimating (rolling estimates)

Starting a project off with an appropriate budget, fast and accurate schedule, and a high performing team who delivers a great design and high-quality documents is what we commit to deliver with our design phase partners — every time. We’ve long provided a full spectrum of preconstruction services our clients can depend on.
