Cost Planning
Cost Planning is geared towards two key objectives - how much it will cost to build and how little it need cost, including future cost estimates. Our cost plans are detailed elemental budgets, which form the key Cost Management control document. They are prepared in conjunction with the whole project team to ensure ownership of the budget. All future changes are managed against the signed off cost plan
