Cost planning for confident decisions.
Early-stage budget costs and cost plans for feasibility and design development, so you and your clients commit to a scheme knowing what it's really going to cost.
In short
Cost planning is early-stage cost advice that sets and controls a project budget before the design is finalised, so decisions are made with a clear view of cost.
We produce budget costs and structured cost plans for feasibility and design development, measured to recognised standards and refined as the design firms up. Each cost plan is branded as your own, giving you and your clients the confidence to commit to the right scheme.
Who it's for
Developers and contractors weighing up schemes at feasibility or early design stage, who need a realistic budget before committing serious money.
The most expensive mistakes happen early, when you commit to a scheme, a site or a design before anyone really knows what it costs to build. By the time a full estimate exists, the decisions are made and the budget is whatever the drawings say it is. Cost planning flips that round: it puts a realistic number on the table while you can still do something about it.
We produce early-stage budget costs and cost plans from whatever information exists, such as a feasibility sketch, an early design, a site and a brief. The figures are measured and benchmarked properly, not plucked from the air, so you can test whether a scheme stacks up, compare options, and set a budget the project can actually be delivered within.
As the design develops, the cost plan develops with it, tightening from an early budget to a firm pre-tender estimate. That gives you cost certainty at every stage and removes the nasty surprises that derail projects late on. Everything is branded as your own, so whether it's for your board, your client or your bank, the advice carries your name.
