Cost planning & estimation
Cost planning & estimation
Create cost certainty at every stage of design development
Whether you are planning, constructing, renovating or operating your real estate assets, you need an accurate picture of the associated costs to avoid budget overruns and unnecessary change orders.
An accurate cost plan, presented in a clear and informative format, allows for well-informed decisions to be made. Proactively manage all modifications and additional provisions to allow for the most effective use of capital and identify whether or not funds are being applied in a logical way. Cost control during the design process and throughout procurement and construction will ensure that the budget is maintained to completion.
We provide clients with accurate projections of construction cost, the best possible value for money and strategies to mitigate risk.
Support business, development and funding agreements with initial cost estimates
While purchasing a site or considering a development, you need a reliable cost estimate to make key due diligence decisions.
Partner with our team of cost consultants for initial cost estimates and budget strategies based on accurate and extensive benchmark data from real, comparable, completed and live projects in your market.
Maintain project budgets with regular cost management and value engineering
Details of your overall project and its components evolve and become more defined as design progresses. To stay on top of your project budget, you should regularly gauge the current design to the original budget and quantify the cost of those refined details with updated estimates.
When market and project conditions change, you need a meticulous cost consultant on your side to help you manage your design and cost scheme with agility.
As you move towards construction, the cost estimate gives you an accurate projection that you can use to benchmark and negotiate with the construction marketplace when it comes time to break ground.
