The purpose of our cost control procedures aims to:

Provide the Client with a value-for-money project

Achieve a balanced design expenditure between the various elements of the building

limit the Client's expenditure to within amount agreed

Principles Quantity Surveyors employ strict cost control discipline throughout all stages of the design and construction to ensure that the initial estimate, tender figure and final account sum are all closely related. Several cost control methods which we provide Consultants, Architects and Clients will include:

Approximate estimations

Cost advice & comparisons of alternative materials and methods of construction

Cost planning

Cost monitoring & reporting during the construction stage

Financial statements i.e. monthly cost reports

These cost control methods and periodic financial reports enable Clients to anticipate and control their current and future financial project commitments.
