ESTIMATING & COST CONTROL - Effective cost control begins with the inception of a project. Costs should be determined before a job is put out to bid. Carocon has the most complete multi-family construction cost database available in the industry. The Company has developed computer programs that provide take-offs, estimates and cost analysis of projects. Preliminary estimates can be generated prior to the preparation of working drawings on the basis of very limited information. Carocon has developed several tools to assist in this endeavor.
