Estimates for Engineering Services

Review the scope of work with the client.
Determine the engineering service requirements and review them with the client.
Provide estimate of cost for the defined engineering services.

Capital Cost Estimating
March has personnel experienced in producing capital cost estimates from conceptual level through to detailed level, depending on the level of engineering required.

Overall, our estimates are structured according to the wants and needs of our client. For mining, metallurgical and other industrial projects, March has an established estimate structure, which is used when the client has no specific format dictates.

Our estimates are structured to provide needed information for analysis and review, and to enable specific information or groups of information to be readily extracted.

Project Cost Control
Cost control is the continuous collection and monitoring of actual quantities, labour costs, equipment and material costs, and most importantly the maintenance of all forecasts.

                                                                                                                  Back To Top

Scheduling
March has experienced personnel who can assess the type and level of scheduling that a specific project, or portion of a specific project - needs. The level of schedules will range from “Preliminary Objective Schedule” to very detailed schedules such as “Detailed Engineering Work Schedules”, “Detailed Field Installation Schedules”, etc. Schedule presentations (type) are selected to best satisfy specific job or area requirements, as well as to meet CLIENT criteria.

                                                                                                                    Back To Top

Progress Monitoring and Reporting
Along with overall scheduling and cost control, March project procedures provide monitoring and control of engineering man-hours and engineering progress. Engineering activities are listed along with their corresponding estimate of engineering man-hours and estimated duration. The activities are scheduled to present their criticality, specific engineering manpower loading, sequential prerequisite requirements, etc. These activities are continually monitored for progress (% complete), man-hours expended, and man-hours to complete. This information is incorporated into the regularly issued overall progress report; see “Project Engineering Management” below.

                                                                                                                    Back To Top

Procurement Services
March has experienced personnel capable of providing full system procurement services. These services encompass preparation of equipment or material specifications, preparation and issue of bid documents, solicitation of bids, issuing of purchase orders, and follow-up vendor drawing and material expediting. Always in close consultation with our CLIENTS, March provides all, or only selected aspects, of the overall project procurement functions.

                                                                                                                    Back To Top

Document Control
We have seasoned personnel experienced in implementing our rigid controls to provide thorough and reliable document control for all sizes of projects. Our procedures provide for interdisciplinary drawing coordination, project control of all incoming and outgoing drawings and documents, a project history and log of the latest drawing and document issues, and archiving of project records upon completion.

                                                                                                                    Back To Top

Project Engineering Management
We have personnel experienced in providing engineering management for large projects which require extensive interdisciplinary planning and coordination, as well as for projects involving just a few engineering disciplines or even a single dominant one. Our personnel provide overall direction in all aspects of engineering management as listed below:

Technical matters
Liaison with the client
Scheduling and engineering man-hour control
Regular reporting to the client (progress, critical job items, expended and forecast man-hours and engineering costs, and overall schedule and costs).

Site Construction Supervision
Working with and for our client, our staff can provide construction management and construction supervision services for site construction activities as required. March also has engineering and design staff who are seasoned in providing on-site expertise and support to field construction personnel. These services include management, or assistance, for quality assurance and control, and for plant commissioning and plant start-up programs.
