We don't bid the work, so our estimates answer to one thing: reality. You get pricing with no incentive to win a job or protect a margin.
Your project is estimated by a principal with three decades of experience, not handed to a junior. The hard calls are made by the person who's seen them before.
The costliest scope is the scope no one drew yet. We engage early and stay through design, catching cost before it becomes a change order.
Independent estimates at every design phase, built to support real decisions — not just fill a line item.
Three decades of civil engineering judgment applied to site, infrastructure, and constructability.
Owner's representation and construction-claims support available on request.
Anyone can price what's on the drawings. The value is in seeing what isn't — the scope, the conditions, and the risk the documents don't yet show. That's where 30 years earns its keep.
We get involved while decisions are still cheap to change.
We price the scope the drawings imply, not just the scope they show.
Current local pricing and real subcontractor conditions, not stale unit costs.
Estimates that travel with the project, so surprises surface early.
Formats organized around the choices you actually have to make.
From healthcare and higher education to civic infrastructure and mixed-use development, Erason Partners brings cost discipline earned on the kind of complex, high-stakes work that defines a skyline — including years with HJ Russell & Company, one of the nation's most respected builders.
Erason Partners is the independent consulting practice of Erastus Njenga, a construction cost estimator and civil engineer with more than 30 years of experience — including work with HJ Russell & Company. After decades helping deliver complex projects on budget, Erastus Njenga founded Erason Partners to give owners, developers, and design teams direct access to senior estimating judgment, without the overhead or the agenda of a larger firm. The result is simple: clear, honest numbers from someone who has spent a career being accountable for them.
Send the drawings, the scope, or just the question. You'll get a direct, senior response — not a sales pitch.
