RELIABLE COST ADVICE

The key decisions on any project must be taken as soon as possible in the design process. Accordingly, we promise our clients reliable, early cost advice to facilitate assessment of viability. We use flexible computerised systems and in-house data bases to prepare cost models and approximate assessments at feasibility stage.

Our commitment to provide reliable and accurate information and advice continues throughout all stages of a project. We employ effective cost planning techniques during the pre-contract stage and active cost management and control systems throughout the entire construction process. Our extensive experience enables us to forward look designs, anticipate potential problems and control cost effectively. We believe in taking a pro-active approach rather than simply reporting retrospectively.

ACCURATE AND RESPONSIVE

Accurate and responsive documentation is a pre-requisite for reliable cost advice. We both recognise and achieve this requirement.

Consequently, we prepare comprehensive documents to provide a solid base for planning and controlling costs at every stage of a project, whichever procurement route is selected.

PRACTICAL PROCUREMENT SELECTION

Selecting the appropriate procurement path is also fundamental to a project's successful development.

We therefore carefully analyse our clients' priorities and essential requirements at an early stage. As a result, we are able to give informed advice on the most practical route to suit the client, type of project and current economic climate.

We also plan and manage the selection of a suitable contractor to carry out the project work. Our involvement in the procurement process begins at conceptual design and continues through to the contractor's appointment.
