Cost management

Maximise value and minimise your risks by estimating, allocating, and controlling costs before your project starts.

Realising value for money for your project

Whether your project is a new development or an existing building or even the need for specialist cost consultancy advice, we bring unparalleled expertise and cost insight across all markets and sectors. Through intelligent budgeting, active value management and dynamic capital planning, we establish a strong base of commercial rigour. Using in-depth reporting the latest technology and controlled contract management we offer cost efficiency, enhanced control and reduced risk as standard.

Featured services

Pre-contract cost management

Bring methodical, analytical and collaborative approaches to development, maximise value generation, align spend with value, mitigate risk and bring certainty of outcome through our technology, processes and people.

Post-contract cost management

Keep close control on the costs of your project. Early identification of cost risk, unexpected change, cashflow and supply chain challenges are proactively forecast to keep your project on track.

Reinstatement cost assessment

Get expert advice to protect you from the risk associated with over insurance - unnecessary and excessive premiums; and under insurance - your business continuity risk.

Feasibility and viability studies

Establish robust construction budgets, with minimal information at the outset/inception of a project to bring assurance that optimises value, minimises risk and identifies delivery challenges.

Development monitoring

Bring certainty to your development(s) through cost and commercial monitoring, validating at every stage and identifying risk mitigatory strategies to realise successful outcomes.

Cost benchmarking

Ensure accuracy, insight, certainty and understanding – whether setting budgets or challenging cost advice from others – through our holistic and granular benchmark data.

Capital allowances

Reveal opportunities from complex tax legislation to obtain potential relief, recover capital costs and secure valuable cash flow advantages from your capital investment programme.

Capital planning

Establish a viable and accurate baseline budget aligned to validated benchmarks to provide a frame of reference to maximise efficiency of your property or portfolio spend programmes.
