Deliverables
WHY USE US FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT?
Reduced risk of missing items and under- quoting
Leaders in pricing new and sustainable building technologies such as concrete floor insulation, Component building, etc
Look at time and financial impacts of different designs, construction methodologies, material and new products.
Identifying problems, more efficient design or other construction methods means no hold-up’s during the construction programme which cause delays and often financial costs to increase.
More accurate quoting for suppliers means more chance of winning contracts and making expected margins.
We are able to provide information on pricing rates and material quantities if work is to be subcontracted out or alternative suppliers to be considered .
Plan revisions are quickly calculated and compared for cost implications
We look at and identify appropriate alternatives for your site. e.g. retaining wall types..
Specific examples - drain layer pipe quantities, trench lengths and volumes, earthwork volumes, respread quantities, material types on site and where to use them, ribraft vs cupolex vs conventional floors - costs and advantages/ disadvantages of each - this can apply to retaining walls as well.
From plans, we can look at building position changes and the possible cost implications of earthworks, drainage , driveways and landscaping.
We put an emphasis on forward-planning and cost implications of changes and alternatives. Reducing the need for redesigns in the construction phase when such changes in direction interrupt the progress on site and typically add unnecessary extra costs because of delays and re-establishments by builders and subcontractors.
