Our Core Services
Cost Estimating
Professionally engineered cost plans for residential, commercial, and industrial developments. We provide feasibility estimates, detailed bills of quantities, and value-aligned pricing models.
Cost Monitoring & Budget Control
We track costs against budgets, manage variations, and produce monthly reports to keep stakeholders informed and in control of project finances.
Construction Program Planning & Updates
We develop detailed project programs using Gantt charts and project calendars, with continuous updates to monitor progress, identify delays, and align costs with timeframes.
Postmortem Cost Reviews
Already blown the budget and not sure where the money went? We offer forensic cost reviews—reverse-engineering project spend to help you understand cost breakdowns, losses, and future mitigation strategies.
Measurement of Work Done
We independently measure and certify completed work on-site to support contractor claims, interim payments, and accurate cost allocation.
Variation Orders & Scope Management
We evaluate changes in project scope and quantify variation orders, giving you clarity on cost overruns and helping you maintain contractual control.
Rates Build-Up
We convert tasks and project elements into measurable, billable rates, ensuring transparency in pricing and clear breakdowns for contract negotiations.
