CALYPSO assists project owners, architects, engineering firms, and contractors with cost estimates, quantity surveys, and economic analysis for housing projects, whether new construction or renovation.

In this type of project, cost control is not limited to the overall budget. It relies on a thorough understanding of the project scope, floor areas, construction choices, regulatory requirements, work procedures, and technical trade-offs that must be addressed from the earliest design phases.

Whether it’s a multi-unit residential building, a home-ownership program, public housing, a boarding house, or a mixed-use development, the goal is the same: to ensure budget reliability, make sound design decisions, and anticipate discrepancies between the initial budget and the actual cost of the work.

CALYPSO specializes in:

quantity surveys and material take-offs for all building trades;
cost estimates based on ratios or by lot;
preparation of general specifications and detailed specifications;
analysis of technical and economic alternatives;
monitoring of cost trends based on construction industry indices;
assistance in balancing construction costs, environmental performance, and overall costs.
