Accurate Feasibility Analysis, Design & Development & Tender Documentation Cost Plans for Projects Across Australia
Feasibility Analysis
We prepare construction cost estimates for consideration in feasibility studies of the development. This enables the most economical solution to be achieved and ensures the viability of the project.
We analyse the construction costs of early layouts and designs of the development for comparison with the projected income of the various models.
Schematic Design & Development
We prepare preliminary measurements and cost plans from the original schematic design documents to establish a limit of probable costs.
These cost estimates are progressively updated in line with revised design information. We can provide advice on design changes and give an opinion on realistic tender dates.
We attend project meetings and advise on alternative materials and methods of construction to maintain budget control and project timing.
We incorporate engineering consultants’ services cost estimates into the total project construction cost to confirm they remain within the overall budgeted allowances previously included.
We advise on the supply and demand status of both labour and materials within the building industry, which may directly or indirectly affect future project costs and timing.
We can prepare cash flow charts when they are required and advise on the types of contracts to be used.
Tender Documentation, Assessment & Recommendations
From the tender documentation, we measure and produce Bills of Quantities following the Australian Standard Method of Measurement for issuing to the tenderers. These Bills of Quantities will ensure a competitive and equal tendering base is established, producing more reliable and competitive tender prices. From this same documentation, we prepare a pre-tender construction cost estimate before tenders close. We then review the tenders received and comment on any inclusions and exclusions that may affect the final completed construction cost or contract construction time.
We prepare reports comparing the tenders, listing the pros and cons, assessing the value of each tender, and reporting on the inclusions and exclusions so that an equal comparison can be made.
