Our Process

After we have received a request for pricing, the process begins. Our estimating coordinator will upload the job into our que and assign it to one of the estimators.

The estimator will review the construction documents and identify the specified scope of the project.  This includes:

Reviewing the specific products the architect or designer has requested and confirm their intended product will work for their project. Once we have evaluated the entire scope, we will generate a materials list. CCI will also explore alternative manufactures to see if there is an opportunity for cost savings.

To complete your bid, we must consider and anticipate a variety of factors that impact the final price:

• construction duration and schedule

• possible material shortages

• integration with other systems, or impacts to other trades

• type of project (education, hospitality, governmental, multi-family, etc.).

Once strategy and materials have been decided, the job is priced. We create a formal proposal, which includes details outlining material quantities, total area treated, floor plans and product data. Upon review of the bid package, the PM completes a final review the final bid and presents it to the client.

The agreed upon proposal acts as formal instructions and requirements for the participating trades to reference.

The submittal package includes:

• project scope and materials

• relevant product data, such as colors, products, locations, product installation.

From there we schedule coordination meetings, we verify field conditions, collect measurements and order the product.  Once product begins to arrive, we schedule installation and allocate resources.
