Contractor cost and programme challenge.
Is the scheme ready to start?
Testing that the costs, programme and assumptions presented by a contractor are correct.
Before a contract is signed, the contractor’s price, programme and assumptions are tested. Prelims, sequencing, exclusions and the critical path are checked against the constraints on site, and the time-cost relationship is made explicit.
Questions we answer
- 01Is the contractor’s price consistent with the design and the programme?
- 02Which assumptions, exclusions and provisional sums carry risk?
- 03Are prelims and duration realistic for the site?
- 04What is on the critical path, and what sits outside the contractor’s control?
What you receive
- Cost plan and programme challenge
