Cost advice you can make decisions on.
We build estimates from first principles, so every estimate traces back to its inputs and holds up under client, consultant and board review. We support contractors, joint ventures and infrastructure clients from business case through to contract award, with support available at short notice.
Bottom up estimates built from labour, plant, materials and subcontract inputs across transport, water, energy and digital infrastructure, using benchmark rates and market testing so prices reflect what the market will deliver today. Our experience covers PPP, O&M, D&C and construct only tenders for tier 1 and tier 2 contractors, from strategic estimate to detailed design.
Early stage cost plans, budget development and option comparisons to support business cases and design decisions. Early estimates draw on our productivity library for fast, benchmarked results, and value management tests scope and design choices against cost while the design can still change.
Tender and project cashflow models, S curves, payment and retention profiles, and working capital forecasts for bids, budgets and long term contracts. Resource histograms and cashflow are generated from the programme and the estimate together, so time and cost stay linked.
A structured review of your estimate and pricing strategy before submission, covering scope, methodology, risk and opportunity, and margin. Systematic checking picks up errors, omissions and inconsistencies, drawing on leading reviews of major transport tenders and chairing a tier 1 estimators working group.
An independent check of contractor or consultant estimates before you rely on them, for target cost schemes, sole proponent procurement and works plan repricing. Each review combines systematic checking with experienced judgement, and we have defended program estimates under specialist client review, so we know what holds up and what doesn't.
Lifecycle and operating cost models for O&M, PPP and asset maintenance contracts, covering routine maintenance productivity, renewal programs and operational resourcing.
