How we work

From first contact to handover

A clear path, with defined deliverables at every stage.

  1. 01First contact

    You tell us the stage of your project and the support you need. We define the scope together.

  2. 02Design review

    We check drawings, specifications and descriptive memorials, and list what is missing before estimating.

  3. 03Cost estimate

    Quantity take-off, unit cost compositions, supplier quotes and overhead and markup (BDI), with full calculation records.

  4. 04Planning

    Cost-loaded schedule, S-curve and labor histogram, ready for the contract.

  5. 05Management and progress billing

    Contract follow-up, progress measurements, change orders and cost control during construction.

  6. 06Handover

    Final accounts, closing report and a database for future projects.

Artificial intelligence

AI-assisted cost engineering

We use artificial intelligence tools to speed up technical work and to implement processes and control systems, always checked by an engineer.

Quantity take-off

Reading DWG, PDF, SketchUp and Revit files to extract structural and architectural quantities, with a calculation record you can check.

Estimate management

Every estimate tracked in GProp, our in-house tool: status, deadlines, questions and quotes in one place.

Meet GProp

Processes and implementation

Flowcharts, routines and project setup in ERPs such as Sienge and UAU!, with spreadsheets and automations that cut rework.

Planning and control

Schedules, labor histograms, progress measurements and reconciliation between the detailed estimate and the ERP.

AI speeds up the analysis; technical responsibility remains ours.

GProp

Estimate management with GProp

Every WG Engineering estimate runs in GProp, a management tool we built ourselves. Status, deadlines, technical questions and quotes for each project sit in one place, from the first drawings received to the proposal delivered.

Reliability

No information is lost. Every decision is logged with date and source, and every figure in the estimate points to the document or quote behind it.

Productivity

Several projects in progress at once, with open items queued and quotes compared side by side. Less time searching for information, more time for engineering.

Modern tools

Available on computer and phone, synced throughout the day. Artificial intelligence speeds up the work, always within our method and with the engineer's approval.

Trust your estimates to a team that controls every step.
