post contract cost control
View projects
It is the case that a lot of good work can be undone if the cost control service falters when operations commence on site. Projects last for a considerable period on site and so the service must not only be of a high quality, but also the quality must be maintained over the entire project lifecycle.
Vigilance and a pro-active approach are also key features of Cyril Sweett's post contract services. There is nothing easier for a quantity surveyor than to simply wait for information to be provided and then report the consequences; neither is there anything more frustrating for clients and constructors. This is not Cyril Sweett's approach and we will be a fully active member of the team, dealing with issues as they arise and preventing expenditure that is not approved.
Once the project has completed we will ensure that the constructor is paid what he is entitled to under the contract; nothing more nothing less. Negotiation will be handled fairly but firmly without recourse to wasteful 'deals' simply to get the job completed.
The scope of our post contract cost control service offer includes:-
- variation pricing and negotiation
- cash flow monitoring and prediction
- recommending payments on account
- regular financial reporting
- final account preparation, negotiation and settlement
