Preliminary estimates guide decisions when drawings are still evolving. Sky Estimates delivers preliminary estimating services for conceptual, schematic, and design development stages so teams understand cost before commitments harden.
We calculate ROM figures using documented assumptions tied to program data, building dimensions, and sector-specific unit costs.
Whether you are testing feasibility for a building, roadway, or infrastructure concept, early numbers reduce expensive surprises later.
Preliminary estimates typically rely on building square footage, linear measurements, surface areas, and assembly assumptions when full construction documents are not available.
Sky Estimates documents every assumption so stakeholders understand what is included, what is excluded, and where additional design detail could shift the number.
Deliverables may include ROM summaries, bill of quantities outlines, and material takeoff sheets when drawing detail supports them.
Total building square footage and volume
Linear measurements for walls and infrastructure
Surface measurements for floors, roofs, and facades
Unit-rate pricing per square foot or cubic foot
Per-kilometer estimates for roads and channels
Assembly-based allowances when details are limited

We review available information and return fixed pricing with lead time and deliverable format before production starts.
Receive a structured spreadsheet or report with assumptions, division summaries, and optional BOQ outlines on the agreed schedule.
Supports early planning and feasibility
Improves budget management before DD
Informs material procurement timing
Reduces redesign cost later
Aligns owners, designers, and contractors
Documents assumptions for lender review
Our estimators bring experience across residential, commercial, and infrastructure concepts. We know where early drawings typically lack detail and document those gaps explicitly.
Sky Estimates aligns preliminary formats with how you present to owners, lenders, and internal teams so ROM figures integrate into your workflow without rework.
When design progresses, we support updated preliminary passes and transition into detailed estimating as construction documents mature.
Documented assumptions on every ROM package
Sector-appropriate unit rates and escalation notes
Fast turnaround on schematic-stage requests
Revision support when program or design changes
Strict confidentiality for all client data
Clear scope notes highlighting information gaps
