Cost Control

Effective cost control requires a disciplined process and the effective use of technology and personnel.

Technology/Equipment:

Rudolph/Libbe utilizes some of the industry’s most advanced technologies and equipment in order to achieve unrivaled performance and productivity. The following items contribute to increased productivity and lower total project cost:

  • Timberline estimating software – improves estimate accuracy & reduces gaps in scope
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM) software – database-driven 3D model software dramatically reduces mechanical/structural interferences, and prevents costly rework
  • Primavera Contract Manager – web-based project control software that improves project team communication and provides effective change management
  • Advanced Equipment & Techniques – Rudolph/Libbe utilizes 3D laser mapping, AGTEK with GPS-guided construction equipment, ground penetrating radar, hydro-excavation, and more to improve project schedule and minimize labor costs

Personnel:

For every project, our construction professionals continually monitor and manage overall project costs in a variety of ways. Project personnel hold weekly/monthly cost review meetings to produce in-progress cost reporting. Rudolph/Libbe also employs more than 300 skilled craftsmen from most major trades. The ability to self-perform major trades gives Rudolph/Libbe an unmatched level of control over project cost, schedule and quality.
