Cost Estimation & Project Controls

Description of Services

At Reliance Engineers, our Bottom-Up Cost Estimating approach provides a highly detailed and reliable foundation for project planning and decision-making. We develop comprehensive cost estimates by building from the ground up—compiling unit- and task-level estimates aligned with the project’s Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). This structured methodology ensures that all project components are thoroughly accounted for, minimizing the risk of omissions and enabling clear traceability throughout the estimate. It also facilitates comparison with third-party estimates and improves transparency during reviews. Our estimating process incorporates a rigorous assessment of project risks and uncertainties, with appropriate allowances and escalation factors applied based on project scope, schedule, and market volatility.
