Early benchmark and model-based estimates using available scope, area and project parameters.

Schematic Design

Elemental estimate aligned with developing systems, quantities and design intent.

Design Development

Detailed measurement and pricing with increased definition of architectural, structural and MEP scope.

Construction Documents

Detailed pre-tender / bid-level estimate, reconciliation and final design-to-budget review.

03 / COST PLANNING

Cost Planning & Budget Development

Turning the project brief into a controlled and traceable cost plan.

01

Establish the cost limit

  • Define scope, program, quality level, assumptions, exclusions and available budget.
02

Build the cost plan

  • Develop elemental allowances for building, MEP, site works, contingencies and escalation.
03

Test the design

  • Compare developing design against the cost plan and identify cost pressure early.
04

Evaluate options

  • Price alternatives, value-engineering ideas and scope choices before decisions are locked in.
05

Update & reconcile

  • Refresh the plan at design milestones and explain movement from the previous estimate.
06

Report for decisions

  • Present budget status, major variances, risks, allowances and required actions clearly.
