COMMERCIAL SUPPORT
This is really a “right hand man” service we offer to builders and contractors, this can cover a wide range of involvement in the business process, from broad brush estimates and sanity checks to a full strategic tendering and contractual review. As we build up the relationship with your company we keep a database of how you work and the cost profile which is as unique to you as a fingerprint.
Our approach is to minimise the risk in building costs and maximise the certianty within the project. To understand where the wrinkles are in the project and to protect the margins wherever possible. Our experienced team know how to read the drawings and to identify where the weak spots and gaps are, to protect our client from unexpected problems.
