Commercial management for groundworks and civils.

We keep your costs measured, your subcontractors tied down and your payments moving, from tender to final account.

What we do

Six services that cover the commercial life of a groundworks or civils package. Use one or all of them.

Estimating and cost planning

Build-ups from drawings and specifications, with clear assumptions, risks and allowances so tenders are competitive and still make money.

Measurement and bills of quantities

Take-off from drawings for earthworks, drainage, kerbs, ducts and hardstanding, presented as clean bills your team and clients can price against.

Procurement and subcontracts

Enquiry packages, tender comparisons and order terms that match the main contract, so scope gaps are closed before work starts.

Valuations and payment

Monthly valuations, payment applications and pay-less notices on time, backed by measured progress on site.

Variations and change control

Early notices, records and priced quotations for instructions, ground conditions and design changes, so extra work gets paid for.

Closing out

Final accounts, retention release and defects close-out agreed with the client’s quantity surveyor, without projects dragging on.

How a project runs with us

The same four stages on every job, so you always know where the money is.

  1. Review

    We read the drawings, contract and programme and flag commercial risks.

  2. Price

    Quantities, rates and subcontract quotes combined into a tender you can defend.

  3. Control

    Monthly cost reports, valuations and variations tracked against the budget.

  4. Settle

    Final account agreed and lessons recorded for the next job.
