What Makes Us Different?

Our people and our process:

  • Our staff of Certified Cost Professionals have extensive expertise preparing construction cost estimates at all project design and construction phases for small and large complex projects throughout the United States and abroad.
  • Our cost engineering staff includes Registered Architects, Professional Engineers, and Economist.
  • Our certified cost engineers, schedulers, and risk analysts have extensive experience throughout all phases of the program life cycle including programming/conceptual, parametric, all design phases, construction and post-construction.
  • Our unique capability is an efficient transition from parametric/conceptual estimate through the detailed design life cycle to enable clients to administer a more effective execution of their programs and thereby reduce project costs and minimize risk.
  • We work closely with the project designers to ensure that the target construction costs can be met and deliver projects across a range of acquisition strategies including traditional Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and Early Contractor Involvement.
  • We pride ourselves on our accuracy and quality of work, attributed to a keen sense of “real-world” construction methods and related costs. 
  • We use numerous cost engineering systems and tools to develop cost estimates and cost deliverables tailored to the specific requirements of each client and project.

Our specific Federal experience:

  • We are a certified Small Business in multiple NAICS codes. 
  • We are the only U.S. firm, large or small business, to hold three prime IDIQ contracts for Cost Engineering Services directly with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).   
  • MOCA Service’s cost engineers utilize MCACES 2nd Generation (MII), Primavera 6 Scheduling, MS Project, Oracle Crystal Ball, and industry recognized Integrated Cost and Schedule Risk Analysis Software.
  • MOCA Services is a pioneer and leader in preparing programming/conceptual estimates using the Tri-Services PACES system. Our cost engineering staff was the original developer of the PACES application and sophisticated algorithms for the parametric cost engineering models.
  • MOCA Services is a thought leader and have provided special cost studies and analyses, Independent Government Estimates (IGE), cost product assessments and validations, market conditions research, and unique risk analysis process research.
  • Our expertise and efficiency using automated cost models provide clients with a wide range of unique, cost-effective, and responsive solutions for the preparation of program and budget estimates. 
  • Our team can reach back to our database library of over 2,500 completed Federal projects to access similar type facilities to use as guidelines for our estimates.
