Why You Need Preliminary Estimates
- Help in Effective Budget Planning: After knowing the estimated costs the client would know whether the project is financially possible or not.
- Make Informed Decisions: If the costs are too high for any reason, the client can decide whether or not to move forward with the project or to find an alternative. This early insight saves time and resources.
- Identify potential risks and challenges: Contractors can develop strategies to address the potential risks to avoid bigger challenges later in the project.
- Effective allocation of resources: The preliminary material take-off helps plan the right amount of labour or materials required ensuring everything is ready before the initiation of the project.
