FEASIBILITY

We are in the job before the job exists.

Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), preliminary pricing and methodology input that helps builders tender with confidence.

THE WORK THAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE WORK

We provide preliminary pricing to support your tender submission and budgeting, along with the methodology thinking behind it. Pour layout, sequencing, pump operations and what it will actually take to achieve the specification in front of you.

The number you tender with comes from the team that will be on the deck.

WHERE THE COST
ACTUALLY SITS

Most structural concrete budgets are blown by the same handful of things, and almost none of them are the concrete.

  • Access that limits pump positions and forces a slower placement rate.
  • A pour sequence that cannot be resourced without a second crew.
  • Reinforcement congestion that turns a straightforward slab into a slow one.
  • Finish specifications written without a view on what they cost to achieve.
  • A programme that assumes cycle times the structure will not support.

Every one of those is visible at the ECI stage and expensive after award. We look for them first.

WHAT WE BRING AT ECI

Preliminary pricing

A structural concrete number developed for your tender and your budget, built by the people who will deliver it rather than by an estimator working alone off a drawing set.

Methodology

Pour layout, sequencing and pump operations, worked out early. How the structure gets built determines how long it takes and what it costs, and both are decided before anyone breaks ground.

Specification advice

Where a project carries demanding tolerance, finish or performance requirements, we tell you what it will take to achieve them. Before the specification is locked, while there is still room to move.

WHO IS LOOKING AT
YOUR DRAWINGS

Feasibility at Azzurri is not handed to a business development team. Our estimators work alongside the construction and operations people who will run the job, so the advice you get at the tender stage comes from the same group that will be on site if you win it.

Between them, they carry decades of structural concrete delivery on some of the most demanding projects in the country. That is who is reading your documentation.

VALUE ENGINEERING

Not every alternative is a compromise. Some are simply a better way to build the same structure.

We assess options that can deliver an improved programme or a more competitive price without giving up quality or compliance. A different pour sequence, a change to the formwork approach, a reconsidered joint layout. Small decisions at the ECI stage that move weeks and dollars once the job is running.

Where an alternative does compromise the outcome, we say so rather than putting it in front of you as a saving.

BRING US IN EARLY

The earlier we are involved, the more useful we are. If you are tendering a project with a significant structural concrete package, talk to us before the number is due.
