Cost Consultancy
Unlike many firms of property consultants, we have an in-house cost consultancy department which enables us to provide quantity surveying advice on development schemes quickly and efficiently.
This service enables us to offer clients a 'one stop shop' in terms of the key variables of values and costs when considering embarking on a development project.
Our cost consultancy department works closely with the valuation department particularly on loan security valuations for development funding purposes.
The cost advice we provide typically involves:
- Detailed preliminary estimates showing a cost for each construction element within the scheme
- Advice on where the scheme may be altered to produce cost savings
- Advice on the most appropriate method of procurement
- Advice on the most appropriate form of contract
Our cost consultancy capabilities extend to:
- Producing high quality tender documentation
- Issuing tender recommendations
- Compiling contract documents
- Producing monthly cost reports including risk assessments and cash flow monitoring
