The project
Chisasibi – South Central District, Phases 1 and 2
Infrastructure works for Chisasibi’s South Central District in two phases, together with street lighting for Zone 7A. A project in Eeyou Istchee territory, where remoteness directly drives costs.
Our mandate
- Estimate of district phases 1 and 2
- Estimate of Zone 7A street lighting
- Civil engineering quantity takeoff
- Remote-site costs built into pricing
Estimating challenges
Estimating in the North: logistics drive the price.
In Northern Quebec and Nunavut, the cost of a project depends as much on logistics as on quantities. Sealift or air freight, shipping deadlines, worker accommodation and on-site storage weigh heavily on the final price.
The construction season is short and a single late delivery can push work back a full year. A serious estimate prices these risks explicitly: allowances for waste and loss, equipment mobilization, permafrost conditions and the availability of local labour.
For this type of project, Gestion Edem delivers an estimate organized by division, with quantities, unit prices, assumptions and exclusions clearly stated. You know what the price includes, where each amount comes from and where the risks lie.
Items to watch
- Sealift or air freight and shipping deadlines
- Accommodation, meals and crew rotations
- Short construction season and winter conditions
- Foundations designed for permafrost and frozen ground
- Local labour and businesses, community requirements
