In the early stages of project ideation, exact costs are impossible to nail down. However, through years of experience, Stava has developed reliable means for helping clients to set budget parameters for the type of building they have in mind. We compare the project at hand with similar ones out of literally hundreds that we've completed in the past, then refine our expectations using detailed cost estimating tools and software.

As a design-build firm, we also alert our clients to non-construction costs they may encounter in the course of their project. Construction-only companies may not address costs for land acquisition, legal fees, financing, architectural and consulting fees, project contingencies and FFE (furniture, fixtures and equipment). But, Stava communicates up-front about all these project-related costs, ensuring that expensive "details" will not be omitted from project planning.
