Comprehensive construction cost consulting from concept through closeout
Estimating & Cost Management
As a specific service or as a part of overall construction management, Hogan Building Associates can provide our clients with detailed quantity takeoffs and pricing from a construction project's conception phase to closeout.
HBA maintains databases of historical and current local, national, and international construction and engineering cost figures including labor, material, and equipment costs.
HBA is equipped to prepare cost estimates and/or verify proposed construction costs at various stages throughout the construction process for projects around the world.
By identifying and analyzing the project's scope, time, cost, quality, and performance, HBA develops an accurate assessment of how the construction process is unfolding over the course of its duration.

- Conceptual Project Budgets
- Construction Bid Estimates
- Contract Cost Review
- Lump Sum Estimates
- Fixed Price Estimates
- Value Engineering Cost Estimates
- Quantity Take-offs

Feasibility Studies & Construction Cost Analysis
Hogan Building Associates performs construction project feasibility studies to assess the viability of a project.
Feasibility studies are typically used to determine the likelihood of a project's success and can influence an owner or investor's decision to acquire a property.
From cost assessments to determining the most likely project duration, HBA can assist any owner or investor throughout the acquisition process.
Even if your construction or engineering project idea is still just that — an idea without drawings or plans — HBA has the estimating experience to provide you with the necessary conceptual project budgets to help get your project off the ground.
Tenant Improvement Budgets
Almost every commercial lease requires the tenant to make interior changes to accommodate the needs of their business.
Before signing a lease, both parties need to know what the cost for the T.I. will be. The challenge is determining an accurate budget with little or no drawings.
Hogan Building Associates can work with both parties to develop a scope of work and detailed cost estimate, even at the conceptual phase.
With an understanding of the tenant's needs, combined with budget and time criteria, we can develop a highly detailed estimate providing cost breakout and unit cost that can be used to control cost through design, contractor selection and construction.
Program Management
Hogan Building Associates works closely with owners, architects, engineers, and other construction consultants to provide seamless integration between all stages of the construction process.
From concept or pre-construction to project closeout, our program management services provide comprehensive oversight and coordination.
Our assistance includes:
- Architect/Engineer Selection
- Contract Risk Analysis
- Constructability Reviews
- Value Engineering
- Cost Management
- Construction Bid Evaluation

Quantity Take-offs
Our client list includes contractors and subcontractors who turn to us for takeoffs, abstracts and material lists.
Our team comes from the bidding world, so we understand contractors' needs and expectations. We take the time to read through all specifications, RFPs, soils reports and plans.
As we develop the bid documents, we will present discrepancies and provide RFIs for pre-bid submittal. Our deliverable will be provided in your company's bid format or the project specific format with comprehensive back-up.
