Cost Estimate Database Development

CCG can develop cost databases (knowledgebases) to fit the unique needs of our clients. We can develop and maintain cost database information to ensure that the most accurate and up-to-date information is available to your estimators.

CCG maintains detailed cost estimating databases for both U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) and Northern Alberta Canada geographic locations, which can be made available for purchase. The CCG cost estimating databases can be extremely valuable for clients that currently have little or no estimating or historical information.

Accurate data development depends on ensuring consistent information collection. Utilizing a central source such as CCG to collect and correlate the required information helps to accomplish this goal. We are familiar with all major industry standards, experienced at correlating standard cost data with the actual costs you incur, and developing the adjustments required to suit your construction experience. We can help you to maintain and update your cost data as needed to ensure that the information remains relevant and timely. We can apply yearly escalation adjustments at a global or detailed level.

CCG is experienced at developing appropriate cost information at a detailed level as well as at a conceptual level. We can help to develop "cost assemblies" that are unique to your particular industry or projects. In addition, we can help to develop meaningful item numbering schemes that fit your cost account structure and your data requirements.
