What we do

Clear numbers, honest forecasts and practical actions, from first budget to final account, plus independent review at award stage.

Cost control and reporting

Cashflow planning

Project cashflow built around your programme and payment terms, and updated regularly as the project progresses.

Budget vs actual tracking

Every committed and incurred cost compared to budget, enabling variances to be identified early and addressed before they affect the final outcome.

Cost reports

Clear, structured monthly reports giving directors and clients a concise view of project cost performance.

Variance analysis

Detailed analysis of cost changes by package, trade and cause, with the reason and owner of each variance clearly identified.

Forecasting

Forecast final cost based on actual performance, updated with approved changes, pending claims and known risks.

Risk alerts and mitigation

Early warnings on overruns, with clear actions to recover cost. We also capture savings when they appear.

Contract and payment review

The biggest cost decisions are made before and after contract award. We review them independently.

Subcontractor comparison sheets

We check subcontractor comparisons before contract award to identify gaps and rates, and show whether award means an overrun or a saving against budget.

Invoice review

We track and check performed progress against planned progress in order to forecast the estimate to complete cost accurately, and we track the gap between submitted and certified invoice values measured against progress performed.

Variation review

Each variation assessed for validity and value, with its impact on the forecast cost reflected in the monthly cost reports.

How we work

A simple, repeatable cycle that keeps you in control.

Baseline

We set up the budget, cashflow and cost structure with you.

Track

We record commitments, invoices and variations against the baseline.

Forecast and alert

We update the forecast, report variances and raise risks early.

Act

We recommend mitigation, so overruns are reduced and savings are secured.

Who we work with

Teams who need cost certainty.

Developers

We prepare independent cost reports for owners and funders, track all project costs, and forecast the final cost throughout execution until completion, with early visibility of risk.

Contractors

We prepare cost reports and track all costs across subcontract packages and variations, forecasting the final cost and margin from execution until completion.

Companies

We deliver cost reports, full cost tracking and forecasting across corporate programmes and project portfolios, from execution until completion.

To start work, we ask clients to share the information below. We can begin with what is available and build the rest as the project develops.
