Our expertise in Cost Consultancy has been developed over 30 years by working in all sectors of the Construction Industry throughout the UK from £100K projects to those in excess of £60M.

With the experience gained and the cost database established along with up-to-date IT resources we are able to provide an appropriate balance between the speed demanded by the modern world with the thorough application expected of a Cost Consultant.

Our philosophy is to anticipate and manage costs not merely to report and this pro-active approach gives each Client the information they require for decision making at the earliest stage. We bring our approach to all four critical elements of Cost Control, namely:  
‍
> Cost Management
> Cost Planning
> Value Management
> Whole Life Costing
