Link your spread sheets to the required bid forms, unit prices and alternates.
And most importantly, we help make sure the bid is prepared on time and submitted correctly.

Change-Order Preperation, Review & Analysis
We are the third party reviewer of projects of any size and scope. SCC analyzes proposed change orders by overlaying all pre and post plans. Whether a client needs a proposed change order priced or validated, we can assist throughout the project’s duration. Once the scope is validated the pricing of the change goes much faster with all parties in agreement. We will assist in getting your change order log down to zero which makes close-out a simple procedure.

We maintain databases of historical and current local, national and international construction costs.
