Cost controlling & reports make it possible for clients to foresee and control their financial project commitments and are a critical factor in the successful completion of any project.

It is a process that begins a projects inception and ends with the agreement of the final account. The purpose of any cost control procedures is to endure the project comes in on budget while at the same time ensuring that the client gets value for money. Successful cost control procedures throughout all stages of the works ensure that the initial estimate, tender figure & final account sum are all similar.

Several cost control methods which we provide design teams with includes:

• Approximate estimating
• Cost advice & comparisons of alternative materials
• Cost planning
• Cost monitoring & reporting during the construction stage
• Financial statements i.e. monthly cost reports

Project Management

Utilising our experience we can aid in the smooth running of landscape projects by developing a strategic plan along with works programme and then managing that plan to endure that it is adhered too.

Firstly we organise a preliminary on-site meeting with the landscape contractor to establish and agree project programme. Once the works commence on site we will monitor the works to ensure that they are being carried out to best possible practice and as per the specification. Our services often involve holding regular design team review meetings to review progress and coordination and costs in line with elemental programme and issue minutes.We can issue regular progress reports keeping the design team up to speed at all times.
