Preliminary cost advice prepared during a project’s inception. The feasibility analysis tests whether a development or project concept is financially viable. This may include early cost benchmarking, risk allowances and identification of major cost and revenue drivers, which all contribute to support critical decision-making.
We prepare detailed Bills of Quantities through accurate measurement and classification of project works, providing a reliable basis for competitive tendering and cost control. BOQs improve pricing transparency, reduce contractor risk allowances, and support consistent comparison of tender submissions while enabling effective commercial management throughout construction.
Cost planning aligns design development with approved budgets by monitoring costs at each design stage and identifying cost impacts as scope evolves. Through continual cost testing and design collaboration, we ensure projects remain commercially viable while supporting informed decisions that balance design intent, buildability, and financial outcomes.
Preliminary estimates provide early-stage construction cost guidance where limited design information is available. Using benchmark data and market intelligence, we establish realistic cost expectations, highlight major cost drivers, and support initial investment and development decisions prior to detailed documentation.
We utilise current market intelligence and historical project data to benchmark costs against comparable developments. This analysis identifies potential cost anomalies, validates project budgets, and ensures pricing remains aligned with prevailing market conditions and construction methodologies.
Our procurement advisory services guide clients in selecting delivery models and contractor engagement strategies suited to project complexity and risk profile. By aligning procurement pathways with programme, budget, and market conditions, we help secure capable delivery partners and achieve competitive, commercially balanced project outcomes.
Through structured value engineering workshops and cost-benefit analysis, we review design and construction solutions to improve project value without compromising performance or quality. This process identifies opportunities to optimise materials, construction methods, and design efficiency while maintaining project objectives.
We identify potential cost risks arising from design development, site conditions, procurement strategy and market influences, ensuring appropriate contingencies are incorporated into budgets. This proactive approach improves cost certainty and protects clients from unforeseen financial exposure during delivery.
We assess and compare alternate design or construction approaches to quantify cost implications and support informed decision-making. This enables clients and design teams to balance cost, programme, quality, and operational outcomes while selecting the most commercially effective solution.
We manage and evaluate tender submissions to ensure competitive pricing, contractor capability, and commercial compliance align with project objectives. Our process identifies risks, pricing inconsistencies, and scope gaps, supporting confident contractor appointment and protecting budget outcomes before construction commences.
We provide independent construction cost advice across all project stages, preparing detailed estimates and validating budgets to support sound commercial decisions. Our estimating approach reflects current market conditions, construction methodologies, and programme impacts to ensure reliable financial planning.
We independently review construction cost estimates prepared by contractors or consultants to confirm pricing accuracy and scope completeness. This verification process provides clients and financiers with confidence that project budgets appropriately reflect design intent and prevailing market conditions.
We forecast future construction cost movements based on programme timing and market trends, allowing escalation impacts to be factored into project budgets. This forward-looking approach assists clients in managing cost exposure across longer delivery timeframes and maintaining financial certainty.
We review construction programmes to assess realism, sequencing efficiency and risk exposure, identifying potential impacts on cost and delivery timelines. This analysis ensures programmes support effective procurement and construction strategies while minimising time-related cost risks.

Establish and protect project budgets through feasibility advice, cost planning, estimating, procurement support, and variation control, ensuring projects are correctly scoped, competitively procured, and commercially positioned before and during construction.
