🔍 Feasibility Fridays A client recently approached us to conduct a feasibility study on an existing development that was 40% complete but had been left abandoned. Our task? To provide a cost estimate for reviewing the project from start to finish and determine whether it was a worthwhile investment for the client. After a thorough analysis, we found that the project was not worth their time, effort, or money. This outcome highlights the critical importance of feasibility studies as they serve as a second layer of protection, helping you understand the pros and cons before moving forward. Think of it as a bulletproof vest for your investment. Always ensure you have the right information before diving into a project. It can save you from costly mistakes down the line. #FeasibilityFridays #Construction #ProjectManagement #InvestmentProtection #SmartInvesting #BuildingBetter #Sustainability #Costimate

What a month it’s been! Costimate has been delivering Cost Plans nationwide, from Melbourne up to Darwin! We've completed over a dozen major projects ($10-$30m) in the past month alone for both returning and new clients, delivering comprehensive Bills of Quantities (BoQs) & Cost Plans. In addition, we've supported trades across painting, partitioning, tiling, carpentry, waterproofing, roofing, rendering, and landscaping, helping everyone meet their tender deadlines. Although some construction sections took a little nose dive around the end of the financial year, they've since rebounded with new energy. We are excited about what the next few months hold. Reach out if you need any estimating assistance - Quantities, Rates, BoQs, Cost Plans, Estimates and Complete Tendering Assistance. ✅ Job approved to close out this month.
