Onsite Cost Monitoring & Cost Management Consultancy

Onsite Cost Monitoring & Reporting Consultancy

Even if you have carried out a thorough tender process and appointed your build team with a construction contract, cost variations still do happen.

Changes in the construction phase mid-build are inevitable, so you need to put some cost management measures in place.

As your cost management consultants, we can help reduce the impact of any cost changes. We can also provide regular reports so you always feel informed and in control on your construction budget.

Having a building contract and CLPM acting as your Contract Administrator will make it easier to plan your finances. It will also significantly reduce the risk of unexpected overspends.

Contract Administration

If you have appointed one main builder via a building contract, then CLPM’s cost consultants can continue to protect your financial interests. We can help you keep track of your spend versus your budget throughout the construction phase via a service called Contract Administration.

We will help you control and monitor your costs by checking and advising on the sign-off of the invoices for payment. We’ll also assess the fairness of any additional or unexpected costs which may arise along the way.

Protect Your Financial Interests

“Our research has shown that in 90% of projects where a builder is left to manage himself, they typically over-run and overspend by 20% versus those with an independent expert overseeing the works. While appointing a Contract Administrator is a cost, this can be budgeted for and it is only a fraction of the potential over-spend on a project of £200,000 or more!”

Cost Management & Control

Having our Quantity Surveying team oversee any changes within the build contract (variations) which result in cost amendments as the project progresses will enable you to make better, informed decisions. You will always have a clear view of the forecast total build cost.

At the end of the project, we can also help with final account preparation, negotiation and conclusion. As the costs have been monitored and controlled throughout the build, there should be no unpleasant surprises when it comes to agreeing the final sum due to your builder.
