Constructability & Design Reviews / Cost Estimating

Desk design reviews and engineering cost opinions for agencies, primes and owners across Detroit metro, Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Downriver, Lansing, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. Constructability review is a desk design review only.

Constructability and design review (desk)

• 30, 60 and 90 percent design reviews of drawings and specifications
• Sequencing, access, staging and maintenance-of-operations checks
• Tie-in, bypass and shutdown feasibility
• Specification consistency and bid-item clarity
• Comment logs; review comments are advisory — the design engineer of record remains responsible for the design
• P.E. review of contractor submittals (review only)

Cost estimating

• Opinions of probable construction cost at concept, design development and pre-bid stages
• Quantity takeoffs from drawings
• Alternatives comparisons
• Estimates to support Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) and funding applications

Organizational conflict of interest

Where Pollex helps an owner prepare scope, specifications or estimates for a procurement, Pollex will not pursue that same procurement unless the owner allows it in writing.
