Cost Engineering

Cost Engineering

  • Are you looking to avoid hiring or training your cost estimating staff in using the Federal Government’s MII software (also known as MCACES)?

  • Is your firm preparing a design package for USACE or having trouble getting comments resolved?

  • Would you like to conduct a Cost and Schedule Risk Analysis for a project to develop a contingency account backed by statistical modeling & Monte-Carlo simulation?

  • Just looking for a general Cost Estimator or Construction Scheduler?

These are all great reasons to give us a call!

Many firms opt to defer the performance of many of these services back to the federal government because the investment in training or acquiring someone with our experience often outweighs the potential return. Let us assist you in bringing those profits back under your roof with flexible pricing and on-demand performance of services.

Dredging Experience

As a Cost Engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Galveston District (SWG) for almost 5 years, our founder handled projects ranging from a $9B coastal storm risk management project (levees, floodwalls, floodgates, pump stations) to a $200k demolition of an old Marine obstacle course.

The District’s specialty, however, was dredging projects.

With over 1,500 miles of federally maintained navigable waterways under the District’s jurisdiction, the District hit the market with dozens of projects annually. Our founder personally worked on more than 50 projects during his 5 years with the District, many of them cradle-to-grave, as part of the team that keeps our state’s economy running and our nation’s largest port open for business.
