What Cadifta Delivers

01

Conceptual & Schematic Estimates

Early-stage cost modeling based on project type, square footage, and scope parameters. Useful for feasibility analysis, investor presentations, and budget setting before design is complete.

02

Design Development Estimates

Detailed cost estimates developed from architectural drawings and specifications. Line-item breakdowns by trade, with allowances and assumptions clearly documented.

03

Renovation & TI Estimating

Tenant improvement and commercial renovation estimates built from existing conditions documentation. Cadifta accounts for existing infrastructure, code compliance requirements, and phasing constraints.

04

Value Engineering Support

Cadifta identifies cost reduction opportunities without compromising scope or quality — alternative materials, sequencing adjustments, and specification substitutions with cost impact analysis.

05

Bid Leveling & Scope Review

When you've received contractor bids, Cadifta provides independent scope review and bid leveling — ensuring you're comparing equivalent scopes before awarding work.

06

Change Order Analysis

Independent review of contractor change order requests against original scope. Cadifta validates pricing and identifies scope creep before you approve additional costs.
