Due to EMO's unique organization, providing professional architectural and construction services from a single source provides for a very effective and economical program management solution. Emo's approach and methods for cost estimating during the pre-construction and construction phases are based on a review of all available construction documentation and our team’s current knowledge of costs from our experience in designing and constructing/renovating buildings. We typically prepare conceptual design criteria for the project along with preliminary conceptual budgets as the basis for negotiating design/build agreements for our client. As the development of the construction drawings and specifications proceed, the EMO program management team works collaboratively with the design/build team to maintain budget compliance and to achieve optimum value for our clients.
