Whether you’re developing property, looking to upgrade your municipality’s wastewater treatment facility or building a new commercial park, the profit margin of the project depends on having accurate cost projections. Unexpected high material costs and unforeseen problems can quickly lead to overruns and the failure of your project. Before construction begins, consult with an experienced engineering, surveying and planning like Hart-Frederick Consultants P.C. to produce an accurate budget and realistic schedule.

Why Establish an Effective Budget?

Ensures Positive Results

As important as materials may be for any construction project, many managers underestimate the cost. Unfortunately, if the expense is higher than originally thought, you may find yourself drawing on additional funds or substituting inferior materials for some parts of the job. In the end, these funding shortages can seriously impact the project.

Enforces Accountability

Your budget should allow you to track where waste is occurring and hold individuals responsible if their departments are consistently overspending.

Anticipates Issues

Part of compiling an accurate budget is doing due diligence and collecting as much information on the project. Experienced engineering, surveying and planning personnel can often anticipate issues beforehand and recommend cost-effective solutions so you can account for these expenses when budgeting. Consulting with experts in advance will also often prevent delays, which can lead to additional expenses.
