Our inclusive approach to cost management covers all aspects of the construction process, from the Employer's initial requirements, to the final debrief.

Our processes can be divided into the following areas:

Concept Design

• At this stage the employer's requirements will be analysed, and strategic advice given. Elements considered include phasing & sequencing, data installations, engineering services, working restrictions and employer's special requirements.

• Based on the Employer' Requirements we will produce a series of options. Scope & cost options will be considered, in order to ensure best use of resources. Procurement routes will be evaluated to secure the most appropriate contractual arrangements.

• The initial budget will take into account all the issues considered above, and will be presented to the Client for approval.

• We will produce the tender documentation, submit tender reports and make recommendations. Costs will be continuously monitored during this period.

• During Construction we will produce regular cost appraisals which will provide both updated cost estimates and change advice.

• We will provide and monitor effective change control procedures, value work done and provide resultant interim valuations.

• We will agree the final account and produce a final cost statement (signed by the relevant parties). On agreement we will provide the client with a taxation cost breakdown. During Construction we will produce regular cost appraisals which will provide both updated cost estimates and change advice.
