Why Use Bill Acker Consulting Services (BACS):

BACS ANTICIPATES AND FILLS IN THE BLANKS:

Just because something isn't shown in a set of plans, especially if it's in a preliminary design phase, doesn't mean it's not meant to be there. One of Bill's rules of estimating is to cost out a project that makes sense and serves its intended purpose. Through decades of estimating experience, Bill has developed a good sense of what is required in various types of projects, sites and facilities, both from a code, pragmatic and functional standpoint. As such, when something appears to be missing or not make much sense, he will fill in the blank with what would seem to be the most feasible solution, usually after consulting his client. The intent is to provide the full anticipated cost of a project, to raise red-flags in scope areas that need further clarification, and to avoid cost increase surprises as the project design progresses.
