I am a sole trader, establishing my business in 1984, after working for national construction companies on building and civil engineering projects throughout the UK since 1967. I provide the above services to domestic and commercial clients, including speculative housing and commercial property developments. In addition I often work for building contractors and subcontractors throughout southern UK.
Please explore this website to see some of the previous projects I have been involved with, the quality of drawings and estimates I produce for my clients, and explaining some of the principles that clients might follow in order to keep their own projects under control. The service I provide is personal.
I feel it is my duty to lead my clients through the process of achieving their desired goals by giving them the best advice I can, improving ideas that might afford better value for money, and guidance on how to control the financial aspects of their projects throughout the construction process.

As the word states this is the preparation of a detailed cost plan for the "works", and this is based on the approved Building Regulations drawings.
It is important, that these drawings are approved as this limits the opportunity for contractors to start trying to charge for "extras", "changes" or "variations".
The type of cost plan I provide is what is called a "Bill of Quantities", an example of this is shown in (BofQ fig 1).
It ensures that the customer is satisfied that they have a funding of a sufficient level that will pay for the design that they would like to achieve.
