Originally founded as O'Connor Estimating Services in 1982, cost estimating remains one of O'Connor Construction Management's bedrock services. Our depth of experience has allowed us to estimate every size, complexity, and type of construction project.

O'Connor offers a wide range of cost control services:

• Cost Modeling
• Conceptual Estimating
• Schematic Estimating
• Design Development Estimating
• Construction Document Estimating
• Peer Review Estimating
• Parametric Estimating
• Range Estimating
• Change Order Reviews
• Value Engineering
• Life Cycle Costing
• Quantity Surveying
• Constructibility Review
• Market Surveys

Professionalism: Continued education and pursuit of professional certifications and degrees at O’Connor is highly encouraged. Our staff of estimators includes Certified Professional Estimators (CPEs), Certified Estimating Professionals (CEP), Quantity Surveyors, LEED APs, and licensed engineers, architects or general contractors.

Software: We pride ourselves on using cutting-edge technology to generate quality deliverables. Our firm utilizes a variety of software tools depending on our client's specific needs, including: @RISK – Range Estimating Software, MCACES, PACES, C3 (proprietary estimating software), OST (on-screen take-off), and Autodesk Navisworks to link 3D models to project schedules for 4D simulation. The chart shown below is an application of @RISK software using monte carlo simulation to project a range of possible construction costs and value engineering to help bring the best possible value to a project.
