Operating in all sectors of the economy, our construction
economists are concerned with not just the capital cost of projects
but with all aspects which have a financial impact on the business
model.
Our construction economists operate in all sectors of the economy
covering property, infrastructure, energy, education, healthcare,
utilities and government, offering a comprehensive range of
commercial management advice and services for all our customers –
from developers and financiers to owners and end-users.
We concern ourselves not just with the capital cost of projects but
with all aspects which have a financial impact on the business
model – at inception, during delivery, on completion and throughout
the assets’ life. This whole life cycle approach encompasses the
following three key stages:
- Business needs/design – from benchmarking, cash movement
management, cost modelling/planning and due diligence to fund
monitoring, risk mitigation, supply chain management and value
analysis.
- Asset implementation – including change control and
accounting, cost control, payments and final accounting,
post-implementation reviews and close-out, project auditing and
trade contractor procurement.
- Ongoing life cycle – such as implementation of
capex/opex projects, insurance valuations, real estate tax
planning, strategic facilities management and whole life
analysis.
