Driving Cost Certainty Across Every Stage
Working closely with designers, engineers and global supply chains, we identify practical solutions, manage risk, and refine designs to maximise value without compromising performance. Our structured approach and robust cost estimation methods provide increasingly accurate tunnelling project cost certainty, support informed decision-making, and maintain financial control throughout delivery, giving stakeholders confidence from concept to completion.Â
Our estimating teams routinely compare open cut, auger boring, pipe jacking and microtunnelling methodologies to identify the optimum solution.
Feasibility Studies
We provide cost-effective early reviews of project requirements, ground conditions, and site constraints, giving confidence that specialist projects are feasible and offering indicative cost forecasts for budgeting and funding decisions. Including methodology selection and preliminary shaft sizing.
Optioneering
Collaborating with design teams, engineers, and global suppliers to evaluate options, meet deadlines, maximise value, and identify the best overall solutions for project delivery.
Construction Method Selection & Value Engineering
Reviewing/revisiting an agreed design to identify waste or opportunities for alternative methods and materials to reduce overall cost without reducing efficacy of chosen solution. Examples include shaft optimisation, drive length optimisation and alternative trenchless installation methodologies.
Cost Modelling
Throughout design, we refine cost forecasts and risk registers, boosting stakeholder confidence and keeping you informed of impacts from design decisions and market changes.
Cost Control
Establishing an agreed Forecasted Cost to Complete prior to commencing construction. Monitoring cost-to-date figures and liabilities throughout the construction process, regular and accurate reporting to identify and disclose savings, overspends, variations and contentious issues thereby maintaining trust and improving working relationships throughout the project team.
