Cost planning and control

Margin protection on live projects

Contract risk, day to day

Tender and supply chain strategy

Feasibility estimates, bills of quantities, interim valuations, and final account settlement. Cost certainty across every RIBA stage.

Commercial oversight of live contracts — managing change events, early warning notices, and commercial correspondence to protect your position.

Tender documentation, pricing schedules, bid evaluation, and supply chain negotiation — structured to get the right price from the right contractor.

Cost reporting, cash flow forecasting, and budget tracking that tells site teams where the money is and where the risk sits.

Formal contract management

Reports teams actually use

Programme and cost alignment

Sub-tier commercial discipline

Subcontract letting, valuation, and account management — maintaining sub-tier commercial discipline so main contract margins are not eroded from below.

Contract administrator duties under JCT, NEC, and bespoke forms — certifying payments, issuing instructions, and managing the contractual record.

Monthly CVR preparation, cost-to-complete analysis, and management reporting structured around the questions project directors are actually asking.

Earned value monitoring, progress measurement, and cost-schedule integration to keep delivery and budget in step through every project phase.
