Our process

We analyse the project brief, align scope and budget early, and maintain disciplined controls throughout delivery.

Cost planning

  • The team will be constantly advised and reminded about the approved scope and budget based on the order-of-magnitude estimate.
  • Concept drawings will be compared to the project brief to ensure and/or limit scope creep from the initial stages of the project.

Governance & control

Practical steps that keep variations, cashflow and approvals visible and manageable.

Development advise

  • Value engineering is robust, and our company insists on its implementation.
  • Design analysis relative to cost is implemented.
  • Design comparative based on similar projects are done on a continuous basis.
  • Scope change register is continuously updated.
  • Once the tender document is complete, it is priced by a contractor, yielding a priced BOQ.
  • The priced BOQ is compared with estimates to limit and approve scope changes.

Financial control

  • Clear financial control must be in place during construction to avoid overrun on budgets and unnecessary claims.
  • Progress of the work needs to be evaluated on a regular basis.
  • Cashflow predictions against actual expenditure need to be updated.
  • Changes are to be priced timeously and be included in the costing.
