Cost Consulting
A strategy to shape your vision
When you work with an external cost consulting partner, you need someone you can trust to uphold your vision, reputation and client relationships. Design partners we work with have entrusted the Rockwise Strategies team to do exactly this across thousands of estimates — 350+ in the past year alone. Leveraging historical data from our entire portfolio, the experience of our people and expertise borrowed from our colleagues at Loeffler Construction, we help you account for every decision that could impact your project.
Focus on the future
A project doesn’t go from design to build overnight. We factor in schedules, procurement challenges and market trends to predict where costs will be the moment you break ground and beyond.
On your timeline
When working through the design process, no one wants to be kept waiting. We move quickly to get you the numbers you need to finalize budgets and keep your project on track.
Proven accuracy
With a reputation for painstakingly accurate estimates—no matter the design stage—our track record speaks for itself. A review of past projects shows our estimates fall within 5% of final costs.
Down to the detail
Working with your team, we help define the parameters of your project before estimating every last brick, light fixture and coat of paint. Need options to further enrich the project’s path? We’ll tailor cost estimates to accommodate the decision making process, so you can weigh all the options.

How we work
Listen
Because we’ve consulted on thousands of projects, we know no two are the same. With this in mind, we dig into the details to understand the vision and goals of the project before we even think about running the numbers.
Tailor
Once we have a grasp on the fundamentals, we determine where we can provide the most value to your build, customizing a cost consulting contract to your needs.
Partner
Estimating is more than getting you the right numbers. Our cost consultants collaborate and engage with key players on your team, readily addressing questions and concerns the moment they arise. All to ensure the build you envision is possible.
