We provide end-to-end cost and commercial management support across the full project lifecycle

We provide end-to-end cost and commercial management support across the full project lifecycle – from the earliest feasibility studies through to final account agreement. Whether you are a client, main contractor or specialist subcontractor, our role is to protect your commercial position, control risk and deliver predictable outcomes.

Our Services

RIBA Cost Estimates

Accurate early cost advice sets the tone for a successful project. We provide RIBA-aligned cost estimates from initial feasibility through to detailed design, giving you clear, stage-by-stage visibility of likely project outturn.

Our estimates are built from real market data, benchmarked against similar projects and adjusted for location, specification and programme. This allows you to make informed decisions early, before cost becomes a constraint instead of a control.

Bill of Quantities

We provide detailed and accurate Bills of Quantities to support cost planning, tendering, and project budgeting. Using industry-leading RIB CostX software, we generate precise measurements and structured cost breakdowns directly from digital drawings and BIM models. This ensures transparency, consistency, and reliability throughout your project’s procurement and construction phases.

Procurement

The right procurement route is critical to managing risk, cost and programme. We advise on procurement strategy and help you select the most appropriate form of contract for your project and risk profile.

From single-stage and two-stage tenders through to design & build, frameworks and measured term arrangements, we guide you through the options, outline the commercial implications, and support you in setting up a clear, fair and workable approach.

Tendering & Contractor Selection

We manage the full tender process to secure competitive, compliant and comparable bids. This includes preparing tender documentation, pricing documents and employer’s requirements, managing tender queries, and analysing returns.

Our tender evaluations go beyond headline price. We assess programme, methodology, exclusions, qualifications and risk allowances to support you in selecting the right contractor on the right terms – not just the lowest number.

Cost Planning & Budgeting

Turning a concept into a deliverable budget is where good projects are won or lost. We prepare detailed cost plans that break down the project into clear work packages, aligning scope, quality and budget from the outset.

We test design options, highlight cost drivers, and work with the design team to optimise value without compromising functionality or compliance. The result is a robust, defendable budget that everyone can work to.

Measured Term & Schedule of Rates

For clients with ongoing or repeat works, we establish measured term contracts and schedules of rates that provide clarity, consistency and value over the longer term.

We develop or review schedules of rates, ensure they reflect current market levels, and structure them to be easy to administer. This supports faster instruction, simpler valuation and reduced commercial disputes across your portfolio of works.

Supply Chain Management

Robust supply chains underpin safe, timely and cost-effective delivery. We help to structure, assess and manage your supply chain – whether you are a client looking at framework partners, or a contractor managing subcontractor and supplier relationships.

Our support can include pre-qualification, commercial vetting, package-strategy advice, tendering of key trades, and ongoing performance monitoring, helping to reduce risk and protect margins.

Client Agent

Acting as your Professional Quantity Surveyor (PQS), we provide independent cost and commercial advice from feasibility through to final account.

Typical duties include cost planning, procurement and tendering support, contract documentation, post-contract cost control, change management, valuations, financial reporting and final account negotiation. Our focus is always on delivering value for money while safeguarding your contractual and commercial position.

Quantity Surveying

We support main contractors and specialist subcontractors with practical, hands-on quantity surveying services tailored to live project delivery. This can include measurement and pricing, sub-contract procurement, applications for payment, variation and claim preparation, commercial reporting, cost to complete analysis and final account negotiation. Our goal is to strengthen your commercial controls and protect your entitlement under the contract.

Applications & Valuations

Consistent, timely and well-supported valuations are essential for healthy cashflow and strong relationships.

We prepare and assess interim applications for payment, agree valuations with the other party and ensure that variations, preliminaries, loss and expense and appropriate risk allowances are properly captured. Whether you are client or contractor, we help make the valuation process transparent, evidence-based and efficient.

Cost to Complete & Forecasting

Knowing where you stand commercially mid-project is as important as the final result. We prepare cost to complete forecasts and financial reports that clearly set out committed cost, forecast final account and projected margin. By identifying trends and risks early, we support timely commercial decisions, allowing you to take corrective action before issues impact programme, cashflow or profitability.

Final Accounts

A well-managed final account process closes out projects cleanly, protects relationships and avoids long-running disputes. We prepare, negotiate and agree final accounts on behalf of clients, contractors and subcontractors, ensuring all entitlements and obligations under the contract are properly captured. Our approach is methodical, evidence-based and focused on achieving a fair settlement as efficiently as possible.
