OUR APPROACH
TO COST MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET ADVISORY
We understand that a key measure of success of any construction project is its ability to deliver value for money in the eyes of those who commission, fund, design and occupy the Building.
Local market + pricing
expertise
We have our finger on the pulse of market conditions and pricing in the locations where we operate. This enables design teams to source and utilize the most costeffective solutions, which does not always mean recommending the ‘cheapest’ option as we will demonstrate the need to take into consideration lifecycle costs and sustainability requirements as part of the decision-making process. We research and analyze local cost drivers and provide guidance reports to clients on the future of the construction marketplace wherever our projects are located.
Benchmarking
Our data collection and analytical approach is the backbone to our advisory service. We have a comprehensive project database of hospitality, commercial, marine and masterplan projects that integrates real-time cost and bid information, enabling our team to deliver a ‘LIVE’ cost, schedule, cashflow, management consultancy service. DharaMETRICS is our specialist model that helps analyze design data and design driven metrics from historical projects. It assists in the benchmarking of costs and specification criteria over all estimating phases, informing design choices and options appraisals. Using cost data and specification metrics combined with location, massing and stacking we can advise on appropriate target budgets for any building type
