In the construction industry, a cost plan is an outline of the financial feasibility of the project. The cost planning details the project budget for each stage and is used as a guide of estimated costs to complete the project. Cost planning is essential to ensure you stay close to budget during development.
What is Cost Planning?
Construction Cost Estimates
Construction cost estimates are an essential tool in the construction process that will ensure the project can be delivered on time and within budget at every stage of the design process. Asset Economics are experts in the preparation of construction cost estimates from high level estimates to elemental estimates to detailed trade cost analysis.
Progress Payment Assessments
Financial institutions require detailed cost reviews from a quantity surveyor to ensure developers/builders are providing realistic and accurate costs for projects. This ensures the loan facility is adequate to fund the entire construction of the development. Progress Payment and Variation reports are usually required monthly to ensure the project is on time and within budget.
