Quality estimating is knowing the final cost at the beginning.
Rushing engineers know from experience how to best package your project for real-world bidding. We understand how contractors perceive and then price construction risks. We can close the risk gap by acting on nuances of construction and procurement, coupling those with how and when the project will be bid and by whom, and helping oversee the contractors.

Budgeting & Estimating
Rushing engineers’ construction experience—tens of millions of dollars of mechanical systems procured and installed, as well as our intimate understanding of “real life” process of managing and building mechanical systems, means we can provide early budgets to detailed take-offs at any stage of design, including conceptual.
Bid Evaluation
With our design and construction expertise, we can review bids, fees, burdens, and labor rates in real-life detail and create matrices that compare subcontractor proposals in everyday language.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
Rushing engineers provide formal LCCAs. In addition to these detailed, sometimes weeks-long analyses, we also integrate life-cycle cost into our “first draft” thinking. Rushing analytical templates, using our expertise in first cost, replacement, operation, and maintenance, offer “real life” data for conceptual thinking and decision-making.
