Our open-book estimating approach
Show Us Your Project, We'll Show You The Money
Our “open book” approach to estimating means exactly that — complete transparency with our clients and project partners. Show us a project you want to build with ESS, and we’ll show you where your money is going to be spent building it. No hidden numbers, no surprise totals.
Whether your project is competitively bid or delivered by an alternative delivery method, our estimating team works transparently and honestly from preconstruction to completion.
By the numbers
We’re numbers nerds who know how to party
The ESS estimating team is packed with self-proclaimed numbers nerds who love nothing more than getting down and dirty with a set of project plans. Before the first shovel touches dirt on a jobsite, they’ve had their hands on every detail to make sure the math checks out.
Our estimators are integral to ESS operations and have helped form lasting partnerships by adding value during preconstruction and throughout every phase of construction.
Partner Testimonials
ESS worked with our team throughout the preconstruction process running numerous cost estimates and scope interactions. Through their efforts, we received the excellent value available for the technical scope ESS provided, all while maintaining the project schedule.
