Feasibilty Costing for Property Developments
This is a review of your planning drawings or sketch plans to provide a basic elemental price. This would be completed prior to any design or development to give an indication of the budget anticipated for the project or development.
Cost Planning for Property Developments
A detailed elemental cost plan, with all the build elements broken down into individual sections. This can also be used when carrying out a tender analysis to cross compare against contractor’s quotes.
Schedule of Works
We can create a fully detailed schedule of works for you to send out to your contractors. The document will contain a summary of works with a grand total and a breakdown of each element of the works into sub-sections. The idea is that you have a pricing platform that your builders follow, so you can easily compare quotes on a like for like basis.
Bill of Quantities
If produced from Architectural drawings, this document is a full ‘take off’ and measure to itemise the works on the drawings. The bill of quantities can be sent out to your shortlisted contractors to provide a pricing platform, which is easy to analyse once the tenders have been returned.
