Estimating challenges
Estimating a sustainable institutional building.
Recent institutional buildings often target high energy performance or net zero carbon. Highly insulated envelopes, geothermal systems, solar panels and low-carbon materials change the cost structure compared with a conventional building.
For a public owner, the estimate must also support the tender: a consistent bid form, well-defined divisions and prices comparable to the expected bids. That’s what lets you judge the bids you receive.
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
- High-performance, airtight envelope
- Energy systems: geothermal, solar, heat recovery
- Low-carbon materials, mass timber and hybrid structures
- Interior fit-out and built-in millwork
- Pre-tender control estimate
