Pre-Construction & Estimating
- Cost Planning & Feasibility: Assess initial project concepts, conduct feasibility studies, and determine if a project is financially viable.
- Take-Offs: Accurately measure and calculate the quantity of required materials, labor, and time directly from blueprints and design drawings.
- Bills of Quantities (BOQ): Prepare comprehensive BOQs to provide contractors with a detailed list of materials, parts, and labor needed.
- Tendering: Prepare tender packages, analyze bids submitted by contractors and subcontractors, and assist in vendor selection
Contract & Procurement Management
- Contract Administration: Help draft, evaluate, and negotiate contract terms, conditions, and schedules with clients and subcontractors.
- Procurement: Source materials, manage subcontractor orders, and ensure all suppliers offer the best value.
- Risk Management: Identify, weigh, and track commercial risks, and implement strategies to mitigate them
Construction & Cost Control
- Budget Tracking: Continuously monitor and control project budgets in real-time, forecasting costs and updating financial plans as designs change.
- Valuations: Conduct site visits to assess and value the progress of construction, and certify interim payments for contractors based on work completed.
- Variation Orders: Evaluate and negotiate the cost of design changes, extra works (variations), and change orders
Post-Construction
- Final Accounts: Reconcile all project costs, process final payments, and close financial records at the end of the build.
- Dispute Resolution: Advise on legal and contractual matters, and assist in mediating or resolving disputes between parties.
- Lifecycle Costing: Provide data on ongoing maintenance costs to ensure the building remains economical long after it is built.
