Feasibility Studies

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.

Contract Administration/ Employers Agent

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.

Bank/Fund Monitoring

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 also provide early-stage due diligence and risk assessments.
