What Makes Us Different

Wyly Cost has the perfect storm of the niche cumulative skillsets and capabilities needed by the architectural and engineering industry, the legal profession, government agencies, financial institutions, developers, contractors, and more. This unique combination of capabilities and services results in Wyly Cost LLC being "The Complete Construction Cost Consultant". We are a one-stop-shop for anything related to construction cost consulting.

For the architectural and engineering industry, we are experts at MCACES MII cost estimating software required by the Federal Government. We are excellent at preparing cost estimates during the various stages of design to make sure the design stays within budget and avoids surprises on bid day. Conceptual, Schematic, Design Development and Contract Document Estimates are all specialties of ours. We understand how to bridge the gaps with partially designed drawings during the SD and DD design phases. We are experts with estimating procedures required by the USACE, NAVFAC, ANG, USCG, GSA, and NPS. We often prepare Independent Government Estimates (IGE's) to validate the cost of change orders and ASI's. Wyly Cost will represent your design firm well attending government charrettes and VE workshops in person. Our references are numerous and respected, including even the Pentagon. Additionally, other services such as schedules, constructibility reviews, market surveys, risk analysis, forensics, claims, contract administration, and project management are all valuable resources for the A/E's to utilize when needed. Wyly Cost LLC is a woman-owned company. Our SF330 will help your design firm win the proposal.

For the legal profession, Wyly Cost has a proven track record of being extremely effective in deposition and in court testimony and provides excellent, detailed reports offering a construction consultant's opinion that cuts to the heart of the case. We've never been part of a case where our attorney did not either win the case or reach a much better settlement than expected. Opposing attorney's attempts to discredit as an expert witness have always gone down in flames. Cases involving injury lawsuits, contract disputes, schedule disputes, financial disputes, and construction specification and standards compliance can be brought to clarity with our expert review of the court documents and our professional expert witness report.

For government agencies, we can provide Independent Government Estimates and provide staff reinforcement for your peak periods. Our expertise with your procedures and software makes us a cut above the rest. As a third-party consultant, we can offer a QC review of cost estimates prepared by others.

For financial institutions, we can provide opinions of the probable cost prior to approving a loan for a new project and can provide earned value site inspections to validate the monthly contractor bank draw.

For developers, we can assist with conceptual cost estimates for your proformas and can assist with providing pre-design and design estimates, as well as validate your contractor bids.

For contractors, we can assist with quantity takeoffs, budgetary cost estimates, scheduling, and anything related to project management or cost estimating.
