PROJECT QUESTIONS

Before we get started.

Does ProDims provide cost estimating throughout Washington State?

Yes. From our Kirkland office, ProDims supports construction cost estimating assignments across Washington State. Our Washington experience includes school, ferry terminal, and transit facility projects. Share your project location, design documents, and required milestones so we can define the estimating scope with your team.

Who does ProDims provide construction cost estimating for?

ProDims supports owners, architects, engineers, and project teams with independent construction cost estimates. Our work includes public infrastructure and institutional projects, with estimating support from early planning through construction documents.

Can ProDims support estimating projects in Arizona and other states?

Yes. ProDims serves project teams nationwide from offices in Kirkland, Washington, and Tempe, Arizona. Contact us with your project location, design stage, and scope so we can discuss the estimating support you need.

What should I send to request a construction estimate?

Start with your project location, building or infrastructure type, current design stage, and the date you need the estimate. Available drawings, specifications, scope notes, and budget requirements help us define the assignment. If plans are not ready, a program summary can start the conversation.

Does ProDims estimate at schematic design and design development?

Yes. Our cost estimating work spans conceptual planning, schematic design, design development, and construction documents. The level of detail depends on the design information available and the agreed scope of work.

What affects the fee and turnaround for an estimate?

Project size, complexity, design completeness, disciplines included, and review requirements all affect the scope and schedule. Our team reviews those details with you before agreeing on deliverables, timing, and fees.
