Obtaining EstimatesWho do I contact if I have questions about cost estimates?If you need an estimate for a Physical Facilities project, please contact Curt Jolley. Curt Jolley's phone number is (801) 422-5555.How much will a cost estimate cost me?Cost estimates are free. There are no charges for cost estimates or preliminary design work until an authorized paying account has been designated and the appropriate approvals and signatures are obtained.Why do some projects seem to be so expensive?BYU designs and builds according to commercial and industrial standards, therefore, the cost of material and labor may be higher than what you might expect for a home remodeling project of similar scope and size. Projects must be designed and built to serve a wide variety of interests and quality craftsmanship and installation are demanded by the faculty, students and visiting public. Furniture and other material must also meet the rigorous demands placed on them by the many students, staff and visitors who use them everyday.When should I request a cost estimate?Some projects do not require cost estimates. Simple projects, like the installation of tack boards for example, do not typically require cost estimates. Cost estimates are principally designed to help those placing work orders to determine if they have the needed funds and are willing to expend the amount of money necessary to complete the project. Typically, all projects that cost over $800 require a cost estimate. |
