Cost Planning

Stringent cost control is fundamental to the successful delivery of our clients' built assets. Our skilled surveyors supply clients with reliable cost forecasts for any type of project, across a wide range of sectors.

We find that early cost planning adds significant value to a project. We facilitate the early development and agreement of a robust scope of works and risk management strategies to minimise the impact of change. By ensuring that cost forecasts are thorough and robust during the development process, programme time can be reduced, no adverse issues emerge at tender stage and cost certainty is introduced as early as possible.

Clients also often introduce modifications during the process. We identify points of divergence as early as possible, and develop and implement rigid cost control and change management procedures to minimise the risk of programme delays and cost overruns.

Cost Control

Our qualified surveyors are vigilant with cost control throughout the project lifecycle. We ensure that expenditure is skillfully and proactively managed in accordance with our clients' expectations and that expenditure and cash flow forecasts match the funds available.

Our cost control service includes monitoring and negotiating variations, monitoring and managing cash flow, payments on account, valuations, regular financial reporting, final account preparation, negotiation and sign off.
