Cost Estimating

Leading provider of independent first principles-based Cost Estimating services with technical capabilities augmented with extensive design and construction expertise.

We provide cost estimating, scheduling and other cost engineering services for the construction industry. We believe a thorough understanding of how a project is to be constructed, and the risks and issues to be overcome, is essential for accurate cost and schedule estimates. Our team has extensive experience of delivering major construction projects on site working for civil engineering contractors and design firms. Our approach is to combine this construction know-how with estimating and scheduling expertise.

We work for contractors, project owners and other organisations across all of the project lifecycle. Our services include:
