Led byMarlon Fenton, PEFour decades across the development lifecycle

Integrated project judgment

See the whole project—before isolated decisions define it.

Land, approvals, design, cost, constructability, schedule, capital, and execution are inseparable. MNK evaluates projects through all of those lenses.

That integrated perspective helps owners, developers, and project teams identify risk earlier, establish clearer priorities, and move toward buildable outcomes.

Rebuild Cost Estimating

Detailed, project-specific estimates grounded in plans, scope, current construction conditions, site constraints, labor, materials, general conditions, and the realities of rebuilding in affected communities.

02

Xactimate Analysis

Independent review and preparation of Xactimate-based estimates, including line-item scope, quantities, pricing assumptions, omissions, and reconciliation with the actual requirements of the proposed rebuild.

03

Claim Documentation Support

Organized scopes, estimates, supporting cost data, narratives, and construction documentation designed to help clients and their licensed representatives communicate a complete, technically supported claim position.

04

Technical Estimate Support

Technical estimating and preconstruction analysis that identifies scope and cost differences and provides a factual construction record for the homeowner and the homeowner's licensed representatives.

MNK provides construction estimating and preconstruction consulting to homeowners. MNK does not act as a public insurance adjuster, provide legal advice, interpret policy coverage, or represent policyholders in negotiating or settling insurance claims.

Selected experience

Projects informed by engineering, ownership, and execution.

Mission-Critical

Experience with the new Boise semiconductor fabrication facility.

MNK leadership experience extends to large-scale advanced manufacturing. Public presentation is intentionally limited to high-level, non-confidential information.
