Construction & Commercial Management
We bring more than 2 decades of housebuilder-side quantity surveying experience, including at Director level across multiple live housing developments. We know what a reliable commercial position looks like, whether its a one off build, an extension or 100+ unit development.
Commercial Control Built From Live Housebuilding
A cost report is only useful when the forecast is honest. I review commitments, subcontract accounts, variations, liabilities, remaining work and programme risk to establish the likely final cost—not simply repeat last month’s figures.
A Forecast You Can Trust
Problems Dealt With Early
We deal with unclear instructions, unresolved variations, payment issues, weak records and programme impacts while there are still options available. That prevents smaller issues becoming unexpected cost movements or difficult final account disputes.
What We Can Take Off Your Desk
We can take responsibility for the wider commercial position or focus on the particular areas where experienced support is needed from both a construction and commercial perspective.
Contract Administration
Keep instructions, notices, payment processes, extensions of time and change records in order, with responsibilities and decisions recorded as the project progresses.
Cost Reporting
Produce cost reports and CVRs that clearly explain commitments, remaining expenditure, forecast outturn, cash flow and risk and opportunities. Presented to you clearly which can be used to inform banks, lenders and board members.
Commercial Management
Valuations, payment assessments, measurement, variations, subcontract accounts and final accounts all kept current, properly evidenced and followed through.
Quantity Surveying
Maintain the full commercial picture, question cost movement and work alongside construction and technical teams to make sure risks are raised with a clear plan—not buried in a report.
Where I Add the Most Value
Whether you need ongoing oversight, a second opinion or help recovering a development that has drifted, the support can be shaped around the gap in your team.
Commercial Lead for a Live Development
We can take ownership of the monthly commercial cycle, manage subcontract accounts, attend key meetings and give the leadership team a clear view of cost, risk and the likely final position.
An Experienced Second Pair of Eyes
If a forecast does not feel right, we can independently test the cost report, remaining build costs, commitments and account positions to establish what the numbers are really showing.
Where reporting, records or accounts have fallen behind, we can rebuild the commercial position, identify the priorities and create a practical plan for bringing the development back under control.
