Engineering services on modern buildings can represent up to 40 per cent of the total fit out cost. New technology, an increasing focus on environmental performance and impacts, and the rising tide of legislation contribute to this. Consequently projects increasingly need sophisticated and informed cost advice.

We have a wealth of experience in setting accurate early construction budgets, in identifying best value solutions and in implementing measures that mitigate the cost of change. All this is done in the context of delivering the most effective sustainability outcomes and in consideration of whole life cost.

We have specialist knowledge of specific services areas including systems, controls, security, refrigeration and vertical transportation. These subsectors have specialist contractors and different forms of contract (e.g. MF1) from the rest of the industry. We also have in-depth knowledge of the different programme elements that may be in play, such as offsite fabrication - which on large infrastructure projects can incur very significant costs. 

Our engineering cost management services supply extremely accurate budgeting and cost control. This brings you cost certainty, risk reduction and, significantly, claims avoidance. We supply conspicuous value for money and as a result have an exceptional track record in winning repeat business and in maintaining enduring relationships with clients.
