Construction and cost management services

Whether it's a new office building, a refurbishment project or a small domestic extension - all these have the potential to be a great experience for the client. They also have the potential to be the worst experience of your life. Whilst there are a great many success stories surrounding building projects, there are at least as many horror stories to be heard regarding disputes with builders, escalating costs, incomplete work, delays etc. We firmly believe that almost all building tradesman have a desire to complete their work to the complete satisfaction of their clients but what can get in the way is a "communication gap". This frequently arises from a client not fully understanding the implications of a decision or change of mind that results in the builder having to change the way in which he has planned his work. The result of this is usually delays, additional cost and a widening of the communication gap.

Some people are happy to cope with the pressures of on the spot decisions, chasing tradesman that fail to turn up on the appointed day, marshalling diverse quotations, placing orders, verifying invoices and making payments. However, most clients are just too busy in their daily lives to be able to cope with the additional disturbance that a building project presents.
