At SGF Consulting, we provide flexible, Quantity Surveying and commercial management support to main contractors in construction, fit-out, and refurbishment across the UK.

Whether you need short-term assistance to support busy commercial periods, extra resource for large tenders, or a trusted consultant to manage subcontractor accounts and project cash flow, SGF Consulting brings the experience and structure your projects need to stay profitable and compliant.

Experienced Support from the Ground Up

Founded by Stacy Deeley-Carter, a Senior Quantity Surveyor with over 10 years of experience across Tier 1 and regional contracting, SGF Consulting understands the demands main contractors face — tight deadlines, complex subcontractor relationships, and the constant pressure to deliver high-quality projects on budget.

Having worked with a consultancy on a variety of building, fit-out, and refurbishment projects, Stacy gained hands-on experience managing the full commercial lifecycle, from initial tender to final account. This practical, results-driven experience means she can quickly integrate into your team, bringing value from day one.

Our Services for Main Contractors

1. Tendering & Pre-Contract Support

We help prepare accurate, competitive tenders for new projects, ensuring all scope items are measured and priced correctly. We can also attend pre-contract meetings and review documentation to identify potential risks, exclusions, or ambiguities before signing.

2. Subcontract Procurement & Management

We manage the full subcontract process — from package tendering and contract placement to valuations, variations, and final accounts. Our proactive approach ensures subcontractors are paid fairly and your position as main contractor is protected throughout the job.

3. Contract Administration (NEC & JCT)

We handle all aspects of NEC or JCT contract administration, including early warnings, compensation events/variation orders, and notices. Our aim is to ensure your commercial obligations are met and your entitlements protected at all times.

4. Valuations, Payments & Financial Control

We prepare and assess applications for payment, manage cash flow forecasting, and produce regular Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR) reports to keep you and your directors fully informed of financial performance at every stage.

5. Change Management & Variations

We take the lead on identifying, pricing, and agreeing variations promptly, helping to avoid disputes and ensuring that commercial positions are maintained as project scopes evolve.

6. Project Forecasting & Reporting

We provide accurate cost forecasting, budget reviews, and performance reporting to help you make informed decisions and maintain profitability across all live projects.

7. Final Accounting & Close-Out

We prepare and negotiate final accounts efficiently, ensuring no value is left behind and that all parties close the project on solid commercial terms.
