A key measure of any construction project’s success will inevitably be its ability to deliver value for money in the eyes of those who commission, fund or occupy such buildings. Our cost consulting services are specifically designed to provide the maximum amount of information on costs at the earliest possible time in the planning, design and construction processes, making it possible to effectively plan, control and manage the cost of construction projects.

We provide a full range of cost management services to achieve this during a project life span, from advising on the feasibility of a project at the early concept stages (including total project cost and operational cost estimates), to settling the final contractor payments at the end of the construction period.  During the design phase we provide cost planning services to maintain an alignment between project requirements, the design and funding availability.  We do this on behalf of the owner or the design team.  We also provide value engineering and life-cycle cost studies, funding schedules and cash flow analyses.  We evaluate and negotiate bids, and during construction we manage contractor payments, including change order and claims reviews and settlements.
