Baton Rouge School Renovation Case Study
Client: Mid-Sized Louisiana GC | Project: $4.2M Public Elementary School Renovation
A mid-sized Louisiana GC faced a $4.2M elementary school renovation in Baton Rouge with strict state codes and a phased, occupied schedule. Previous bids were off by 8–12%, risking awards and profits.
A full-scope estimate incorporated local cost factors often missed by competitors. Specialized masonry, custom windows, labor premiums for after-hours work, and a single-source brick with lead time were all included. A three-week permitting contingency ensured the schedule stayed realistic.
The client won the $4.2M contract, with final costs tracking within 1.5% of the estimate. Bid win rate on Louisiana public projects rose 22%, and a $38,000 unexpected asbestos cost was fully covered. The client said, “Their estimate was an operational blueprint. Numbers held up, we now use them for every bid over $1M in Louisiana.”
