Budgets, cost plans, tender reviews and cost reporting for residential and development projects, from a team that builds as well as advises.
A budget is only useful when everyone understands what it includes. Our cost consultancy helps clients review scope, compare quotes and understand what each decision will cost.
We can help with an early proposal, a tender or a project already on site. We agree what information we need, what the advice is for and how we will report, and we make clear that an early allowance is not a final construction price.
We build a budget from your brief and drawings, and show which costs are firm and which are still estimates.
We compare builders’ quotes line by line, not just the totals, and point out anything missing that makes one look cheaper than it is.
We price changes before you commit to them and keep a record of every agreed change.
Regular cost reports show what has been spent, what is committed and what is left. We can also help agree the final account.
We agree what the advice covers and how often we report before we start. To get going, send us the drawings and any quotes you already have.
Cost advice is only as good as the information behind it, so we start by reviewing what you have.
Tell us where the project is and what decision you need to make.
We go through the drawings, specification and quotes.
We explain the risks and differences in plain English.
We keep the numbers up to date as the project moves on.

Yes. Send us the drawings, specification and quotes, and we’ll compare them like for like.
It shouldn’t. Value engineering means finding better-value alternatives that still perform, look right and are easy to maintain, not just picking the cheapest option.
