Dominion Building Group's comprehensive approach to project management includes accurate cost estimates, detailed accounting of construction costs and timely scheduling of work.

Accurate Cost Estimates

DBG's cost estimates begin with a preliminary cost estimate. 

The preliminary cost estimate is the result of several meetings with the client and a thorough review of the preliminary drawings. DBG then researches specialty items and items significant to the project. The end result is a detailed preliminary construction cost estimate that serves as the financial blueprint for the rest of the project.

Upon approval of the preliminary cost estimate, the final design begins. The final design will incorporate additional needs and desires of DBG clients that were identified during the preliminary cost estimate. A detailed specification identifying all of the items in the home is also created.

The final construction cost estimate includes a formal bidding procedure in which preferred/prequalified vendors and subcontractors are requested to bid on the project. The result is a complete and accurate construction cost estimate that is ready for scheduling and accounting.

Detailed Accounting

Upon approval of the final construction cost estimates, the estimate is transferred to DBG's accounting system where the cost estimate becomes the construction budget.  Upon the set up of the job specific accounting, job cost can then be tracked to the benefit of DBG' clients. Every dollar spent on each job is accounted for, no more, no less.  DBG clients receive a monthly statement and invoice. Cost plus clients receive a job cost analysis monthly. 

Timely Scheduling

Upon the approval of the final construction cost estimate, the project schedule is then created. The schedule is used by DBG superintendents and management to drive the job to a successful completion. DBG clients are provided periodic copies of the schedule for their use and information.
