Sheet A-01 · Pre-construction Denver, Colorado

Before the first shovel, the whole project is on the table.

Summit Ridge runs pre-construction the way a review room runs a drawing set: scope, cost, sequence and risk laid out on one table, marked up in front of the people who own the decision.

Sheet A-02 Cost Estimating

The estimate has to survive the boardroom, not just the spreadsheet.

Cost estimating is where a project is won or quietly lost. We price the scope as drawn, name every allowance, and issue the assumptions alongside the number so nothing has to be guessed at later.

01 Quantities from the drawings Scope is taken off line by line and tied back to a sheet, so every quantity has a source.
02 Unit costs and allowances Current pricing, with allowances written out loud and the assumptions behind them stated.
03 Risk separation Risk the owner carries and risk the market carries are priced separately, then reviewed together.
04 Estimate walkthrough The estimate is issued with its assumptions and walked through with your team before a number is committed.

Sheet A-03 Scheduling

Sequence is a commitment, not a bar chart.

A schedule is a set of promises with dates attached. We build it with the trades rather than for them, tie milestones to owner decisions and long-lead procurement, and issue it on a cadence your team can plan around.

Built withTrades, contractors and the owner’s decision calendar — not a template.
Tied toOwner decisions, permitting and long-lead procurement dates.
IssuedOn a fixed cadence, with every revision clouded and dated.

Sheet A-04 Site Supervision

On site, coordination is the whole job.

Drawings only hold if somebody is standing on the slab asking the right questions in the right order. Summit Ridge supervises the work against the approved set and reports what is actually happening.

▸Regular site presence and coordination between trades.
▸Quality and specification checks at each stage of the work.
▸Change and RFI tracking, with cost and schedule impact called out as it lands.
▸Site logistics and safety walked with the contractor, not after the fact.

Sheet A-05 Closeout

Closeout is where the record gets finished.

The last ten percent of a project decides what the building is like to own. We finish the punch list, assemble the documentation, and reconcile the final cost and schedule against the estimate the project was approved on.

Punch list managed through to completion, item by item.
Commissioning and systems verification tracked to sign-off.
Warranty and O&M documentation assembled and handed over.
Final cost and schedule reconciliation against the approved estimate.
