Superiority We Maintain

Construct Your Road With Our Commercial Estimating Services

No matter the size or scope of your commercial construction plans, Archixen delivers top-tier estimating services designed to maximize value and minimize waste. Our NYC-based estimators are highly experienced and equipped to handle all levels of commercial estimating.

1. Commercial Estimating for Small-Scale Projects

  • Small-scale commercial construction often involves limited time, labor, and space. Typical projects include:

    • Renovation of outdated interiors or exteriors to modernize and refresh the look of a property

    • Fixing or upgrading commercial sewage systems and plumbing layouts

    When contractors come to us early in the process, our team provides prompt and accurate cost breakdowns. This helps avoid over- or under-staffing and ensures the right equipment and materials are ready from day one.

2. Commercial Estimating for Medium-Scale Projects

  • Mid-sized commercial developments demand tighter cost control and scheduling. These projects often involve:

    • Expanding buildings for growing businesses

       

    • Adding floors or redesigning layouts to increase space or functionality

       

    Archixen is the trusted partner for developers and contractors who value precision. Our team delivers timely, technology-driven cost estimates that make planning smoother and bidding more competitive. We analyze every component so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

3. Commercial Estimating for Large-Scale Projects

  • When managing high-value civil or infrastructure projects, accuracy isn’t optional—it’s essential. Publicly funded or high-investment projects require transparent, defensible budgeting. Minor miscalculations can result in significant financial consequences.

    At Archixen, we approach your large-scale projects as if they were our own. Our estimators use advanced tools and deep experience to provide accurate, accountable cost breakdowns that support smart decisions and win public trust all at competitive pricing.

When Do Developers Need Commercial Estimating Services?

We support developers in scaling smarter by offering two key types of commercial estimating services:

I. Preliminary Commercial Estimates

Before the drawings are even finalized, developers need numbers to assess project feasibility.

At Archixen, we provide reliable early-stage commercial estimates using real-world project data, historical benchmarks, and advanced tools—ideal for real estate developers, property owners, and investors planning multi-million-dollar builds.

ii. Final Commercial Estimates

 Once the drawings are complete, general contractors and subcontractors begin submitting bids. But how can a developer ensure those bids align with actual market costs?

That’s where Archixen steps in—with final pre-construction cost estimates that support loan acquisition, financial planning, proposal development, and contractor negotiations, all grounded in data-driven accuracy.

When We Serve Design-Build Firms

Alongside contractors, designers, and developers, we proudly support design-build firms that manage both design and construction under a single contract.

These firms often face tight budget constraints, requiring precise cost control over materials, labor, and equipment at every project phase. That’s where our estimating services come in.

At Archixen, we provide comprehensive commercial estimates and value engineering early in the design process, often at just 50% design completion, to help owners make informed financial decisions.

Our cost estimates typically cover:

  • Design and engineering service fees
  • Subcontractor costs
  • Man-hours and labor charges
  • Material procurement
  • Equipment rentals or purchases
  • Other hidden expenses (taxes, permits, etc.)

When Estimating Is Requested by Architects and Designers

Archixen provides commercial estimating services to architects and designers, playing a key role in design-phase estimates and budgeting.

❖ Design-Phase Estimates

Our estimators work alongside architects and designers, offering detailed cost analyses for various design choices throughout the project’s design phase. This enables the design team to evaluate and adjust plans according to client budgets, helping avoid cost surprises later. We include conceptual, schematic, design development, and construction document estimates—and review drawings for errors, gaps, or inconsistencies.

❖ Budget Creation

 Estimating is the foundation of budget creation during a project’s early planning. We support architects and designers in building budgets by reviewing their conceptual and design development drawings to generate accurate cost forecasts during the design stage.
