Here at ISC we are dedicated to providing our clients with measurable results and are committed to assisting our clients to better understand the options available to them, as well as the associated cost implications before, during and after construction; providing a level of confidence and security that ensures project stability while maximising value.
Here are some benefits to having us on your team:
• Expert measurements and cost estimations
It is important to undertake an accurate and comprehensive project costing prior to commencement on site to ensure the project’s aesthetics, functionality, deadline, and expenditure are all aligned with the client’s expectations. Detailed measurements of drawings and specifications are combined in the bills of quantities (BOQs) that are generally used for tendering and adjudication of submissions to obtain the most competitive construction cost for the project.
• Cost management and budgeting
An accurate project cost is provided to the client and best value for money is achieved by managing expenditure throughout the project to ensure the value of works on site do not exceed the agreed budget. Cash flow projections allow the client to plan ahead and avoid unnecessary finance costs and minimise the risk of budget overruns due to variations.
• Contract management
A well-drafted construction contract manages contractual rights and obligations of both the client and contractor and mitigates various risks throughout the project, such as variations, defective works, unforeseen delays, environmental factors, etc.
• Saving time and money
Every stage of the project is considered and scrutinised, from start to finish, and processes streamlined to keep within the client’s budget and deadlines. Having an effective cost expert as part of the professional team will save the client both time and money.
• Dispute resolution
Disputes between client and contractor are always likely, however, a well-managed project with the correct contract and effective and clear communication of expectations, leave little room for error. In the event of a dispute, negotiations can be carried out to address both parties’ concerns and reach a win-win solution for all involved.
