on-trac Estimating
Creating a detailed financial roadmap for your project, Berry's 20 full-time estimators – including MEP and site specialists, analyze every detail from initial design stages to project completion. In the early conceptual stages, we use a systems analysis and historical cost data to develop realistic cost model for the project. With specialists trained in their specific trades, on-trac estimating fills in missing information and thereby calculates even conceptual project costs more precisely. This expertise enables Berry to develop accurate cost forecasts from the early project stages. As the design process moves forward, on•trac estimates capture comprehensive detail, allowing us to manage your budget and uncover the most opportunities for cost savings.

Case in Point: Working with a New Hampshire hospital throughout preconstruction, Berry delivered a GMP that was consistent with the conceptual estimate. At conceptual design we estimated the project to be $30M. We worked with the hospital and the architect, keeping the budget at $31.4 M for schematic design and 31.6 at the completion of design development. We settled on a GMP of $31.5M.
