Estimating + Project Management · San Diego → Los Angeles

The estimate runs the whole build.

Construction breaks the project in half — one team prices it, another builds it, and the gap between them becomes the overrun. ESTIQX closes the gap: the same precise numbers that set your budget run the job to a signed Certificate of Occupancy. Built for developers, owners, and custom-home builders who'd rather build on accurate numbers than hope.

The Disruption

The broken traditional way vs. the ESTIQX way.

Construction's oldest structural flaw is a handoff. We engineered it out — by never letting the estimate leave the room.

The Traditional Way

Two silos, one blind spot.

  • An estimator builds the budget on assumptions, then walks away.
  • A separate PM inherits a number they never built and can't defend.
  • The disconnect surfaces as change orders, RFIs, and schedule slip.
  • Two bloated headcounts — and the budget still blows out.
VERSUS
The ESTIQX Way

One data set, end to end.

  • Precision takeoffs build a hyper-accurate, defensible budget.
  • The same senior PM who owns that data then runs the project.
  • Critical path scheduling sequenced directly from the estimate.
  • Two roles replaced by one lean retainer — design to CofO.
Capabilities

The accuracy base. The execution layer.

Two disciplines most firms keep apart — commercial estimating services and full project management — run by one accountable owner, on one continuous data set.

Track A · The Accuracy Base

Precision Estimating

Real cost data and engineering review build a hyper-accurate, defensible budget — the foundation every downstream decision is measured against.

  • A1Precision material takeoffs — quantities measured and validated against historical cost data, not eyeballed.
  • A2Deep-dive cost modeling — line-item budgets benchmarked by trade, region, and real production rates.
  • A3Constructability reviews — engineer-level plan, structural, and MEP coordination that catches conflicts in the documents.
  • A4Value engineering — cost-down options modeled against schedule and quality impact before commitment.
Track B · The Execution

Outsourced Project Management

The same senior PM who owns the estimate then runs the build — bridging owners, developers, and agencies all the way to Certificate of Occupancy.

  • B1Stakeholder bridging & expedited permitting — direct liaison between owners, developers, and municipal agencies.
  • B2Aggressive RFI clarification & submittal management — open items closed before they touch the critical path.
  • B3Critical path scheduling — sequence-based CPM grounded in our own hyper-accurate estimating data.
  • B4Construction risk mitigation — forward-looking monthly forecasting plus high-fidelity weekly, monthly, and quarterly reporting.
The Merge

Because Track A never hands off to Track B, commercial developments, multifamily programs, and custom-home builders and renovators all run the job on a single source of truth — the estimate that won the budget is the estimate that defends it on site, week after week, to CofO.

The Retainer Model

Two roles. One flat fee.

Replace a bloated in-house estimator and a separate project manager with one lean monthly retainer — engaged from design through Certificate of Occupancy, for builders who'd rather run the job on accurate numbers.

The Retainer
$6,000/ month

One fee. Estimating and management as a single function — scoped to project size, complexity, and reporting cadence.

The Standard

Engineering discipline, on your side of the table.

ESTIQX brings 25+ years of ground-up multifamily, commercial, and custom-residential experience to every engagement — superintendent-level field command paired with full management accountability: budgets, subcontracts, change-order defense, permit coordination, RFI resolution, and owner reporting across multiple active programs at once.

Engineering-led plan review and MEP coordination identify conflicts before mobilization. It's the field-credible standard developers, owners, and builders rely on to protect schedule, budget, and quality — all the way to Certificate of Occupancy.
