Trusted by leading builders
Your expert extended team,
for Scenario Planning to GMP
Pre-commitment, design development, or construction documents…each service maps to the decision you’re making and what’s at risk at that stage.
Compare build-out paths before committing capital.
- Multiple program scenario modeling (unit mix, density, use type)
- Comparative cost estimates across each scenario
- High-level schedule impact per option
- Risk and feasibility summary per scenario
- Decision matrix with key trade-off analysis
- Delivered as a stakeholder-ready summary report
Maximize returns through rigorous estimating and value engineering, backed by Melt Takeoff.
- Detailed preconstruction cost estimate (systems-level)
- Value engineering — scope, materials, methods
- Cost-vs.-quality trade-off recommendations
- Project cash flow projection and draw schedule
- Contingency and escalation analysis
- Updated estimate at each design milestone (SD, DD, CD)
Catch gaps and conflicts before they become change orders, powered by Melt Review.
- Full construction document review for completeness
- Ambiguity and coordination gap identification
- Cross-discipline conflict log (arch, structural, MEP)
- Constructability and sequencing assessment
- Specification-to-drawing consistency check
- Issued risk log with priority ratings and recommendations

What happens after you reach out.
Here’s what the process looks like from first contact to delivery.
You tell us where you are in the development cycle and what decision you’re trying to make. We tell you which service fits, what we’d deliver, and what it costs. No commitment required.
You share drawings, specs, program assumptions, and any existing cost data. We work from whatever you have — early massing models through full CDs.
MeltPlan’s AI processes your documents and produces a structured first-pass deliverable — quantities extracted, scopes classified, gaps flagged. Every figure traced to source.
A credentialed estimator reviews the AI output, applies construction judgment, and closes any gaps the AI flagged. This is where experience meets data.
You receive a complete deliverable — estimate, scenario comparison, or risk log. Not just a report, a senior estimator walks you through the outcome and numbers for you to take an informed decision.
Your project data stays yours.
Your program assumptions, cap stacks, pro formas, site control terms — is some of the most sensitive information in a development deal. We treat it that way.
NDAs
Data isolation
Encrypted in transit and at rest
We sign mutual NDAs before document intake. Standard practice, not an exception.
Your project data is never used to train shared models or made accessible outside your engagement team.
All documents are encrypted end-to-end. Access is limited to the team assigned to your project.

Frequently asked questions.
Scenario planning engagements typically deliver in 5–7 business days. Full cost estimates in 7–10. Document assurance reviews in 3–5. Timelines depend on document completeness and project complexity — we'll give you a specific window on the scoping call.
Whatever you have. Early-stage engagements can work from massing models and program assumptions. CD-stage reviews need a full drawing set and spec book. We scope the engagement to your documents — we don't require you to have more than you've got.
Three differences: speed, traceability, and scenario coverage. Traditional firms deliver one estimate per program in 3–4 weeks. MeltPlan delivers source-cited estimates in under 10 days, with the ability to run multiple program scenarios in parallel. Every figure traces to a source you can audit.
Yes. We sign mutual NDAs before any document intake. If your deal requires additional confidentiality terms, send them over before the scoping call.
All stages. Scenario planning is designed for pre-commitment. Cost estimation covers SD through CD. Document assurance is most valuable at CD, before you go to GCs for GMP pricing. We can engage at any point in the cycle.
Multifamily, commercial, mixed-use, and healthcare. The 45M sf we've estimated spans all four. If your project type is unusual, raise it on the scoping call — we'll tell you directly if it's outside our range.
