Code & Construction Consultants always remains focused on protecting our client's capital - from the initial concept and planning stages, all the way through the implementation and management of construction. It is widely understood that contractors tend to overinflate the cost of past work (as well as the cost to complete the new projects they are bidding), resulting in excessive mark-ups being present in almost every quote. Our unique team of sub-trade professionals (architectural, code compliance, electrical, life safety, mechanical, etc.) brings extensive training and long-term experience in all of their respective fields.
At Code & Construction Consultants we utilize a truly unique approach when negotiating on behalf of our clients. We expect contractors/subcontractors/bidders to arrive at the negotiating table having marked up their costs to what they believe the market will bear. They base their pricing on historical selling criteria, or what their company has previously been able to obtain. Instead of initially negotiating how much the contractor/subcontractor/bidder will reduce their costs, Code & Construction Consultants prefers to take every line item completely apart and to have our experts rebuild them from the ground up - with the contractor / subcontractor / bidder - negotiating and establishing each intricate component cost as we go.
Code & Construction Consultants has developed an extensive proprietary construction cost database of the major destination markets. This comprehensive platform is predicated on our firsthand experience within these markets. Unfortunately, there is no consistent or generally accepted national published standard/index for reporting true construction cost information. Marshall and Stevens, Means, Engineering News Record, and various other construction publications have fallen short in accurately providing actual construction cost data.
