Our cost consultancy team offers a modern, dynamic approach. We combine effective management with a drive to achieve the best value for money. Our project team works collaboratively with our clients to provide a comprehensive cost consultancy service that is fully integrated with design. We work closely with you to manage construction costs and mitigate financial risk to safeguard and deliver the maximum return on your investments.
Feasibility studies are carried out to establish whether a site can accommodate our client’s needs. We observe all the possible approaches and options and subject them to a rigorous design process. A feasibility study is carried out to create clear boundaries, establish viability on client proposals and move forward with a project in the most effective way.
Our aim is to deliver our clients’ vision whilst honouring project constraints, such as scope, time and budget. We can successfully plan, organise and manage your project from conception to completion. Our team gets to the heart of your project, fully understanding your expectations, the key requirements and the drivers of your project.
Our expert Contract Administrators and Employers Agents proactively manage the relationship between employer and contractor during the construction phase. This involves clear, timely reporting to the client, management of changes and payments and ensuring effective communication across the project team.
We offer bank and fund monitoring services across all sectors. Our experienced cost consultants provide accurate and timely reports to financial institutions in support of construction phase funding releases. We can also provide early stage due diligence and risk assessments.
