The El Paso Market: What Changes Your Change Orders Estimate
El Paso Construction Market Overview
El Paso operates as a distinct economic region, heavily influenced by cross-border trade, manufacturing (maquiladoras), and the massive military presence at Fort Bliss. Construction here must account for the Chihuahuan Desert climate-extreme summer heat, high winds, and arid conditions.
Estimating in El Paso requires adjusting for local building practices (like the prevalence of stucco, adobe-style architecture, and flat roofs), understanding the logistics of material delivery to far West Texas, and pricing labor in a unique border market.
El Paso Permitting
The City of El Paso Environmental Services Department handles building permits. Estimates must often account for specific energy code compliance (dealing with solar heat gain) and water conservation measures mandated in this desert environment. We also factor in the specific requirements for building in the foothills of the Franklin Mountains, which can involve difficult site access and rock excavation.
Our Change Orders Estimating Process for El Paso Projects
We review the original scope, the changed condition, and all relevant RFIs, ASIs, or bulletins.
We detail exactly what changed - added scope, deleted scope, and modified scope - with plan references.
We calculate the cost difference using the same pricing basis as the original estimate when possible.
You receive a complete change order package with supporting takeoff, pricing, and narrative justification.
