See overspend months before the final account
Chartered QS commercial management for live sites: monthly valuations, cost-to-complete and change control, without employing an in-house team.
What you get every month
Cost-to-complete
Where the budget stands today and where it is heading.
Change control
Every variation logged, priced and agreed before it hits the bill.
Monthly report
One page you can read in five minutes, with the risks flagged.
Two ways to work with us
Scheme Commercial Management
For one live scheme.
- Monthly site visit and valuation recommendation
- Cost report and cost-to-complete
- Variation and change log
- A fixed monthly fee with capped days, agreed upfront
For portfolios
Commercial Partner
Your external commercial function across several live sites.
- Everything in Scheme Commercial Management, across your schemes
- Monthly portfolio report
- Procurement support for new packages
- A standing monthly review with your team
- A fixed monthly fee with capped days, 3-month minimum
Fees are agreed per scheme or portfolio after a scoping call. Time beyond the agreed days is only charged at an agreed day rate, with your approval first.
Through to the final account
When the works finish, we agree the final account with your contractor: every variation and adjustment checked against the contract, so you pay what's owed and no more. Available on its own or as part of either service.
Clear boundaries
Included
