Budget Estimating
How much will your proposed project cost? We produce detailed budget estimates at various stages of the design process in collaboration with other members of the project team. Accurate budget estimates are an essential part of protecting the Owner’s interests.

The Meyer’s Memorial pool has long been a fixture of summers in Winooski, and an important part of the community.

One was completed at 100% Design Development, one at 50% Construction Documents, and one at 100% Construction Documents. PCI’s role in the project lasted for about 5 months while the project progressed through the design phase.
