Shaping Investment Decisions

Our Expertise

Early Cost Planning

Capital projects need clear, structured cost inputs that support sound decision-making from day one. We help clients shape budgets, define scope, and align investment strategy through detailed feasibility studies, option analysis, and business case estimates.

We help clients:

  • Build Class 5–4 estimates to support feasibility and business cases (P50/P90)

  • Conduct multi-criteria analysis to compare options and delivery strategies

  • Define project scope baselines, including inclusions, exclusions, and assumptions

  • Profile quantities and risks before drawings are available

  • Map commercial drivers and early risk exposure

  • Align estimates with internal governance or Treasury/IA frameworks

Typical tasks include:

  • Material Take-Offs (MTOs) from concept designs

  • Estimating based on system layouts, site constraints, and access

  • High-level rate builds using benchmark or parametric data

  • Integration of capex allowances into project planning models

  • Workshop support with project sponsors and cost owners

Detailed Cost Estimates

Accurate estimates drive confidence across planning, procurement, and delivery. We deliver structured, transparent estimates tailored to project scope, delivery strategy, and procurement model—backed by data, detailed breakdowns, and clear logic.

  • First principles estimates (top-down or bottom-up) for full project scope

  • Detailed pricing breakdowns covering directs, indirects, risk, margin, and project team costs

  • Analysis of delivery models (schedule of rates, unit rates, lump sum, target cost)

  • Labour, plant, subcontractor, and material cost modelling aligned to market rates

  • Cashflow, phasing, and adjustment sheets for financial planning

  • Estimate review and accuracy checks for internal assurance and approvals

Benchmarking and Analytics

Good decisions need solid data. We use real project benchmarks, rate comparisons, and productivity insights to improve estimate accuracy, manage risk, and validate key assumptions.

  • Rate comparisons across sectors, regions, and delivery models

  • Productivity benchmarking from real-world projects

  • Data-driven analysis of labour, plant, and material rates

  • Validation of key assumptions, inputs, and risk allocations

  • Trend analysis to refine future estimates and improve accuracy

  • Estimate refinement based on market conditions, project size, and delivery approach
