Construction Cost Estimating

KCI’s construction cost estimating team delivers accurate, production-based estimates that support owners, designers, and contractors throughout North America.

Our expertise spans the full spectrum of transportation and civil infrastructure, from complex interchanges and highway corridor improvements to signature bridge projects including cable-stayed, extradosed, tied arch, and segmental concrete box girder, along with conventional steel and concrete structures. We bring a practical, field-driven perspective that helps clients plan effectively and make informed decisions from concept through construction, regardless of project size or delivery method.

KCI estimators combine contractor experience with advanced tools including HCSS HeavyBid, Primavera P6, AGTEK and Bluebeam Revu to prepare reliable estimates and detailed construction schedules, identify and allocate risk, and evaluate alternative solutions. The team supports both traditional and alternative delivery methods, including Progressive Design-Build (PDB), Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC), Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects. With broad knowledge across disciplines including bridges, marine construction, retaining walls, earthwork, drainage, paving, and utilities, we provide insight that improves constructability and adds value to every project.
