Cost Management (Buildings)
Our primary concern is to understanding and support the client's business case for a project when carrying out cost management services. Our sector teams use their extensive experience to ensure that the balance between quality, time, cost and risk is managed in a way that delivers buildings of maximum value.  Our specialist knowledge allows us to provide accurate and reliable cost information at an early stage to enable decisions to be made at the optimum time. 

We have close contacts with all areas of the construction industry which allow us to carry out efficient benchmarking, market testing and procurement to get the best out of the market place.  Our change management and reporting procedures are rigorous but have the flexibility to ensure that the clients remain in control and receive exactly the information they need, when they need it.  

In addition, we provide the following specialist services:  

  • Value Management - We carry out systematic reviews of projects in order to critically analyse the way that design meets the desired requirements in terms of user efficiency, quality, durability, cost and other client parameters.  
  • Risk Management - As cost managers, we are ideally placed to conduct formal risk management processes which engage the whole project team to identify, analyse and respond to risk.  
  • Bill of Quantities  - While the use of Bills is not as widespread as it used to be, they remain an efficient and valuable method of controlling costs in some sectors.  We maintain a specialist team who successfully provide Bill of Quantities to clients throughout the industry.  
  • Project Monitoring - Whether for funders, developers or others within the property and construction industry, we provide highly skilled and experienced teams who can analyse all aspects of projects from inception to completion and provide independent, reliable information in order to protect the financial interests of our clients.  
  • Capital Allowances - Our specialists are able to advise on maximising tax efficiency through design at an early stage as well as analysing completed building costs against the latest legislation to ensure that tax assessments take account of all allowances.
