Precision cost estimating for all stages of the project lifecycle

Cost overruns can often derail even the most meticulously planned projects. We leverage real-world design and construction expertise to prevent budget overruns and ensure financial control. Our team of engineering experts recognises and incorporates probable construction methods, project / programme / portfolio costs, carbon impact, schedules and risk.

Our data libraries are continuously updated with relevant market rates that align with government agencies' active projects.

First principles thinking

We utilise a best-practice methodology grounded in first principles estimating, providing infrastructure managers with precise project control. This approach ensures that every detail is considered from the ground up, delivering accurate and reliable estimates.

Specialist expertise

Our engineering experts recognise and incorporate probable construction methods, project risks, and cost-influencing factors into estimates. With specialist knowledge and a proven track record, we optimise cost and sustainability management for infrastructure projects.

Tech-enabled engineering

Leverage our software partnership with Benchmark Estimating, to offer precise, data-driven insights that enhance project efficiency and sustainability. Empower your decision-making, boost business intelligence, promote sustainability and optimise costs.
