Initial cost advice and feasibility studies

We provide crucial initial cost advice and feasibility studies at the inception stage of a construction project. This service includes an assessment of the project’s viability, an estimation of probable construction costs, and the establishment of an accurate initial budget.

These assessments are based on extensive industry experience and cost data from previous projects, ensuring that our clients can proceed with confidence and make informed decisions about their investments.

Budget estimating & Cost planning

We play a crucial role in construction projects by managing costs and ensuring financial efficiency. We specialise in budget estimating and cost planning, which involves meticulously assessing the project’s requirements to predict the total expenditure accurately.

This process helps in formulating a budget that aligns with our client’s financial constraints while also identifying potential cost-saving opportunities. By doing so, we aid in minimizing risks and enhancing value, ensuring that projects are completed within the set budget without compromising on quality.

Value engineering

Value engineering in the context of quantity surveying involves a systematic approach to improve the ‘value’ of a project by using an examination of function. Value, in this sense, is the ratio of function to cost.

By optimising this ratio, we aim to increase the value for our clients by either improving the function or reducing the cost. It is a practice that can lead to significant cost savings and functional improvements in construction projects, without compromising on quality or performance.

Procurement advice

We provide procurement advice to ensure that our clients projects are completed within budget and on time. We guide clients through the procurement process, which involves the acquisition of goods and services from external sources, and advise on strategies that align with the our client’s requirements and risk attitude.

The procurement process is more than just obtaining prices; it includes the development of tender documentation, cost control measures, and risk analysis evaluations to secure the best value for money and minimize the risk of cost overruns.
