MAT & Academy Construction Cost Planning
Determining and controlling costs during the design and construction phases
A cost plan is a critical part of any construction project, determining the practicality of a project and putting the controls in place to manage its delivery over a set period.
Cost planning not only will tell you how much a project will cost but when the expected expenses will occur, important information for obtaining finance and determining profitability.
All of our surveyors are RICS qualified and expert in developing detailed cost estimates and plans as part of a fully integrated capital projects delivery service. Through effective project management we will manage your projects, big or small, to meet your budget and timeframe.
The key elements of a cost plan are as follows:
Initial cost appraisal
Quantities cost plan
Pre-tender estimate
Tender pricing document (RFI/RFP)
Contract sum
