Start Your Project The Right Way

We take a personal, hands-on approach to construction dispute resolution, working closely with you to devise affordable, bespoke solutions to avoid conflict and manage the situation efficiently.

  • A clear, accurate and detailed cost plan creates the foundation for any successful construction or development project. It helps you determine whether a project is viable and, if so, how to optimise resources, reduce risks and, most importantly, stay within budget.
  • As award-winning construction consultants, our skilled team specialises in various cost planning services tailored exclusively to your project scope. Whether it be a large property renovation or a multi-million-pound development project, our team are on hand to offer invaluable support at every stage.

Feasibility Costings For Developers

In the early stages of a project, you can’t always tell precisely how much it will cost, as changes to the design or development during planning will alter the outcome. If you are a developer and would like to get a rough cost of your plans before deciding whether to proceed, feasibility costings are helpful tools as they include:

  • The size of the floor space and assumptions about the prices of various inputs
  • What is being included in the project, and what is left out
  • Calibration to take account of market conditions in the future (and likely sale prices at the time of completion)
  • The cost of fixtures, fittings, and equipment
  • Running costs of the building

  • Stamp duty and agency fees

Need To Reduce Costs? Choose Value Engineering

Whether it be during the pre-construction phases or to address unforeseen challenges during the build, our value engineering services are designed to highlight where costs can be cut to stay within budget. Taking into consideration design, materials and processes, the goal of value engineering is to achieve the same outcome at the lowest possible cost without compromising quality, performance or reliability.
