Cost Estimating & Tender Support
We help you win the right projects at the right price. From accurate measurement and Bills of Quantities to preparing tenders and analysing bids, we make sure every job is priced realistically and competitively. The result? Fewer surprises during delivery and stronger profit margins at completion.
Contract Placement & Administration
Contracts don’t need to be complicated. Whether it’s NEC ECC or JCT Minor Works, we’ll draft, review, and implement clear agreements that protect your business and keep relationships professional. We also manage subcontract packages, ensuring everyone knows where they stand and disputes are avoided.
Valuations, Payments & Cash Flow Management
Cash is king in construction. We take the headache out of payment applications, subcontractor valuations, and payment certificates. By introducing structured three-part payment processes and reliable cash flow forecasting, you’ll always know what’s coming in, what’s going out, and when.
Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR) & Forecasting
Know your true position at any point in the project. Our CVR reporting tracks costs against value earned, highlighting variations early and forecasting out-turn positions so you can make decisions with confidence. This transparency helps avoid nasty surprises and strengthens client trust.
Variations, Claims & Final Accounts
Changes are inevitable. We manage variations and claims in line with the contract, ensuring you’re paid fairly for every additional nut, bolt, and labour hour. At project close, we prepare clear final accounts that protect your entitlement and keep cash moving.
Process Improvement & Business Growth
Beyond project delivery, we work with directors to improve internal systems. From standardising reporting templates to streamlining procurement, we’ll help you cut wasted time and focus your efforts on the most profitable areas of your business. This creates sustainable growth — not just quick wins.
Supply Chain Expansion
A strong project depends on reliable partners. We expand your network of subcontractors and suppliers, bringing competitive pricing and better availability into your business. This reduces risk, increases flexibility, and ensures you’re never left short on site.
