    The First Build

    Digital Estimating
    Planning & Scheduling

    1st Build1st Build

    We lay the foundation for smarter construction.

    Our 1st Build transforms traditional MEP estimating, planning, and scheduling into a digital-first process. We leverage design models, data, and analytics to drive accuracy and efficiency, before groundbreak.

    🔶 Model-Based Quantity Take-Offs

    Extract precise material quantities from 3D models

    🔶 Data-Driven Cost Estimating

    Ensure estimates are accurate, traceable, and measurable throughout preconstruction.

    🔶 4D Scheduling & Sequencing

    Align cost and time with model-based construction schedules.

    🔶 Design Model Validation & Risk Analysis

    Catch clashes, inconsistencies, and risks before they cost you time and money.

    🔶 Pursuit Support

    Provide data-backed insights for competitive project bids.

    🔶 Existing Conditions 3D Laser Scanning

    Capture as-is conditions for precise planning.

    Who It’s For

    🔶 General Contractors, MEP Subcontractors, and Developers looking for a smarter approach to estimating and scheduling.

    Cost Estimating
    Bid Smarter from the Start with Data-Driven Cost Estimates.
    Start smart with digital cost estimating powered by design models, CAD, and PDFs. We extract quantities directly from your design files—regardless of format—to create higher-confidence estimates. This gives estimators, planners, and project managers early visibility into scope, cost, and materials, enabling better strategy, sharper pricing, and more competitive bids. Whether refining budgets or finalizing proposals, our process brings clarity and speed to preconstruction.

    Quantity Take-Offs &
    Material Take-Offs
    Clear Quantities. Confident Decisions.
    Our Material and Quantity Take-Offs (MTO/QTO) extract precise quantities directly from design or construction models—giving your team the data edge. Whether you’re building an estimate, managing procurement, or pricing change orders, we deliver accurate, model-based takeoffs that reduce over-ordering, eliminate quantity disputes, and increase confidence from bid through build. Estimators, project managers, and procurement teams can plan smarter, buy better, and avoid surprises. Real quantities mean real control—no guesswork, just clarity.

    Construction Scheduling &
    Sequencing
    Plan the Work. See the Flow.
    Our Construction Scheduling & Sequencing help General Contractors go beyond timelines to visualize each step, not just the finish line. We turn your schedules and logistics plans into dynamic visual simulations that expose conflicts, staging challenges, and coordination gaps before they hit the field. From crane swings to material deliveries to trade stacking, we help you validate the construction journey — thousands of steps, fully visualized. Avoid surprises, reduce delays, and bring your plan to life before day one. Seeing the sequence means building smarter.

    Design Model Validation &
    Risk Analysis
    Validate First. Build Second.
    Think you’re ready to build because you received design models? Think again. Our Design Model Validation service protects contractors from relying on incomplete or faulty design intent—avoiding RFIs, costly rework, and multi-million-dollar mistakes. We conduct disciplined, methodical reviews to catch errors, omissions, misalignments, and constructability gaps before coordination or pricing begins. This isn’t about blame — it’s smart risk management. With decades of experience in aviation, healthcare, mission-critical, and complex infrastructure, we deliver impartial analysis so you build with certainty — not costly assumptions.

    SPECIFICATIONS
    Right-Sized BIM Specs. From the Start
    Our BIM Execution Planning & Contract Language Review helps developers and GCs define BIM requirements that are clear, effective, and tailored to your project goals. We help you avoid bloated specs that inflate costs or call for unused tech just for appearance. Whether reviewing or authoring contract language, we focus on making it realistic, enforceable, and outcome-driven — targeting BIM uses that truly support the plan, budget, and schedule. Whether it’s your first digital project or a refinement of existing standards, we right-size your BIM scope for results — not rework. Get clarity, alignment, and control from the start.

    PRECON PURSUIT SUPPORT
    Out-plan, out-show, and outshine the competition.
    Stand out before the first shovel hits the ground. Our Preconstruction Pursuit Support helps GCs and MEP contractors win work by showing up to interviews with more than promises — show up with a plan. We create fully visualized models, logistics animations, rendered phasing, and intelligence-rich visuals that demonstrate your understanding of the project, your team’s technical capability, and your commitment to delivering with precision. Whether it’s a shortlist presentation or a must-win pursuit, we help you communicate confidence, clarity, and competence — long before construction begins.
