Local Authorities, NGO's & developers

Because of our previous experience in contracting, especially with major external works projects, we offer sound practical consultancy that provides greater cost and programme certainty. For external works and landscape projects we offer the following services:

  • Masterplan cost preparation/evaluation: We prepare accurate project budgets for master-planning and feasibility purposes
  • Buildability assessment: We assess whether designs provide value for money and suggest more effective alternatives
  • Procurement route: We advise on external works procurement including effective partnering and framework arrangements
  • Tender documentation review: We ensure that documentation is unambiguous and clearly written to help avoid costly problems occurring once on site
  • Value engineering: We can provide a practical and impartial view to achieve cost reductions whilst ensuring that the integrity of the scheme is retained
  • Whole life costing: From our experience of PFI regeneration projects, we provide matrix costing models for landscaping and external works, assisting with ‘what if’ scenarios and long term budgeting
