WHAT DISTINGUISHES BUILDING EVALUATIONS
From their competition is that they are actively engaged in the estimating business. Building Evaluations' main stream business is developing construction cost estimates. Architects, owners, developers, engineers, and contractors send their drawings to Building Evaluations to have accurate cost estimates developed at all phases of the design and construction process. Building Evaluations therefore has an inherent need for accurate cost information. This led to the development of Building Evaluations Construction Unit Cost Data Book and MyEstimator.com.
OUR LEGACY
Since 1987, Building Evaluations, Inc. has developed over 5,000 estimates and construction schedules for more than 750 local, national, and international clients. Our team of highly experienced construction management and design professionals have expertise that spans the full range of disciplines, including architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. Utilizing our vast experience in the industry, Building Evaluations, Inc. can develop realistic cost estimates at any stage during the design and construction process. We pride ourselves on working within your design team’s schedule to meet established deadlines. Every estimate we produce is custom tailored to your needs and the individual requirements of your project.
Our roots go back more than 40 years to when founder Paul Piccione headed up a team of estimators for Wood & Tower, which was later acquired by the Dodge Cost Systems division of The McGraw-Hill Companies. Spun-off by McGraw-Hill in 1987, Dodge Cost Systems was acquired by Paul Piccione, who then went on to establish Building Evaluations, Inc. In that same year, Anthony Piccione joined the business and currently heads up the estimating team.
Our clients include architects, construction managers, owners, engineers, contractors, and appraisers across the country - all of whom we serve by utilizing state-of-the-art technologies to deliver accurate and up-to-date cost estimates at a cost effective price.
