Hotel Construction Consultants
BuildOne as your Vancouver Hotel Construction Consultants means you’ll have a clear picture of costs, project challenges and solutions.
Among the five common project discriminators – time, cost, quality, performance and scope – most clients concentrate their efforts on determining and controlling project costs.
Build One is recognized as the leading Vancouver hotel construction consultants that understands the importance of having accurate cost estimates before the project starts. Accurate estimates are needed for budgeting, to verify or modify design decisions at the various stages of the project development and to analyze the accuracy and fairness of contractor bids.
Our cost estimators and consultants have the knowledge and experience to provide estimates that are, on average, accurate to within 5% of bids received.
Build One prepares estimates at the various stages of project development, utilizing a Work Breakdown Structure to code all our estimate items. The WBS allows us to quickly sort and summarize the cost information according to client need. Our estimates will utilize the latest prevailing wage data with our own material and labor productivity costs database. Our cost estimating and management expertise encompasses a wide variety of services.

Specialty Consulting
BuildOne’s estimating professionals possess a wealth of hotel construction, management, consulting and design experience that allows us to offer numerous Specialty Consulting services, including:
Project Rescue and Completion
Hospitality construction & renovation projects benefit from having a dedicated hotel construction consultant to maintain schedule and keep the project within budget. High-profile projects in particular cannot afford delays and often involve immovable deadlines. When projects fall off-track or become hopelessly stalled, BuildOne provides project condition assessments – including completion costs, schedules and strategies – and gets the project moving again. For those projects that are near completion, we can resolve and negotiate disputed claims and change orders on the owner’s behalf, as well as assist in the commissioning, startup and occupancy of the project.
Integrity Monitoring
An integrity monitoring program is implemented in those instances when extra precautions are necessary to prevent fraud, waste, abuse and corruption during a construction or renovation project. BuildOne has the expertise and industry knowledge to create proactive, customized solutions to prevent or deter fraud, corruption and safety/environmental violations from occurring on a construction site while not inhibiting the project’s schedule, cost, or contractor performance. Serving as Independent Inspectors, we seek not only to identify inappropriate activity and coordinate with the appropriate authorities, but also to deter it from happening in the future.
Negotiation Assistance
Negotiation is a powerful tool used to settle a claim or dispute early, without formalized legal proceedings such as mediation, arbitration or trial. BuildOne facilitates the negotiation process by structuring the meeting, scheduling the dates and times, helping each party understand the position of the other and keeping discussions relevant. As a negotiation facilitator, we represent neither party, and both parties split the cost of our services.
We can remain anonymous, assisting with the technical issues of entitlement and damages or we can provide these same services and attend the negotiation session.
