How We Work

Our methodologies/

The right cost analysis method for the right project. We match technique to risk profile, project complexity, and the client's need for cost certainty.

Elemental Cost Analysis

Breakdown of project cost into elements (substructure, superstructure, finishes, services) to track value by trade and identify cost risk.

All project types

Whole-Life Costing

Capital cost + operational + maintenance + end-of-life costs modelled over a defined appraisal period to support value engineering decisions.

Public & commercial

Earned Value Management

Integration of scope, schedule, and cost to measure project performance against baseline and forecast at completion with confidence.

Complex programmes

Risk-Adjusted Estimating

Monte Carlo simulation and quantified risk registers applied to estimates — translating uncertainty into contingency allocations and confidence bands.

Infrastructure & civils

Value Engineering

Systematic review of design options against cost, function, and programme — removing unnecessary cost without sacrificing performance.
