Services

From the budget to the final account.

Eleven services in two families. Take one on its own, or hand us the whole project. One team is accountable either way.

Tendering & project management

Cost & contracts

Tendering & project management

Tendering, procurement and project management.

The right documents, the right bidders, the right award, and a project run on your behalf.

Project Management

We run the project on your behalf, start to finish.

One point of contact for the whole build. We set the execution plan and governance, manage the consultants and contractors, chair the interfaces, hold the master programme to account and report to you monthly on scope, cost, time and risk.

What you get

Project execution plan and governance
Master programme and milestone tracking
Consultant and contractor coordination
Risk register and mitigation reporting
Monthly client reporting pack

Independent BOQ Auditing

A second opinion before you sign.

Independent re-measurement of quantities, benchmarking of rates against current Omani market data, and verification of the priced total. Errors, omissions and inflated allowances are listed with the value attached, so you know what you are signing.

What you get

Independent quantity re-measurement
Rate benchmarking against market data
Priced-document and arithmetic verification
Schedule of errors, omissions and risks
Audit report with quantified recommendations

Tender Document Preparation

Tender packs that price like for like.

Bills of quantities measured to a recognised standard method of measurement, issued with specifications, preliminaries, pricing schedules and the conditions of contract as one coherent package. A tight document is what stops qualified bids and day-one variations.

What you get

Measured bills of quantities (NRM / SMM)
Technical specifications and preliminaries
Pricing schedules and schedules of rates
Conditions of contract and appendices
Tender drawing register and issue control

Tendering & Tender Evaluation

The right and competent bidder, chosen on the evidence.

The whole tender run end to end: contractor pre-qualification, enquiry issue, clarifications and addenda control, and a documented opening. Then technical and commercial evaluation side by side, with arithmetic and rate checks, normalisation of qualifications, scrutiny of resources and programme, and a written recommendation you can defend to a board or an auditor.

What you get

Pre-qualification and tenderer shortlisting
Tender issue, clarification log and addenda control
Bid receipt and documented opening record
Technical and commercial evaluation with rate checks
Award recommendation report

Tender Negotiation

A better deal, agreed before you sign.

Post-tender clarification and negotiation with the preferred bidders. Scope gaps are closed, qualifications withdrawn or priced, rates and preliminaries challenged against market data, and payment terms, programme and securities agreed. Everything is captured in a contract-ready record so nothing is reopened after award.

What you get

Negotiation strategy and target price
Post-tender clarification meetings
Rate, preliminaries and qualification challenge
Alternative proposals and savings priced
Agreed minutes and contract-ready price schedule

Cost & contracts

Cost consultancy and contract administration.

Budgets set, payments checked, change valued and accounts closed on the evidence.

Cost Consultancy & Quantity Surveying

Budgets that hold, from the first estimate.

Order-of-cost estimates at concept, elemental cost plans as the design develops, cash-flow forecasts for funding, and cost advice on every design and procurement decision. The budget is set on current Muscat rates, not a rule of thumb, and it is kept honest until the contract is signed.

What you get

Order-of-cost estimates
Elemental cost plans
Cash-flow forecasts and drawdown schedules
Option and value-engineering costings
Procurement and contract strategy advice

Cost Monitoring & Reporting

Know the final cost every month, not at the end.

Monthly cost reports that state the cost to date, the committed cost, the cost to complete and the forecast final account, with every change tracked from instruction to agreement. Also provided as independent project monitoring for lenders and investors.

What you get

Monthly cost report and forecast final cost
Change and variation register
Contingency and risk drawdown tracking
Cash-flow actual versus forecast
Lender and investor monitoring reports

Interim Bill Evaluation & Payment Certification

Pay for the work done. Nothing more.

Each interim payment application is checked against the work in place: site measurement, materials on site, variations agreed to date, retention, advance recovery and previous payments. You receive a certified amount with the working behind it, so the contractor is paid fairly and never ahead of the job.

What you get

Site measurement and progress verification
Check of the contractor's interim bill against the BOQ
Materials-on-site and variation assessment
Retention, advance recovery and deductions
Payment certificate recommendation

Variation Claim Analysis

Every variation measured, valued and justified.

Each variation is tested against the contract: is it a change, who instructed it, what do the rates say and what is it worth. We measure, value at contract or fair rates, check the substantiation and recommend a figure, for clients assessing a contractor's claim and for contractors preparing one.

What you get

Entitlement check against contract and instructions
Measurement and valuation at contract rates
New-rate build-ups and rate analysis
Substantiation and record review
Variation assessment report and register

More about variation claim analysis →

Claim Settlement

Claims valued fairly, then closed.

Loss and expense, prolongation, extension of time and disruption claims assessed against the contract and the contemporaneous records. We prepare claims and we defend against them, run the negotiation and document the settlement so it stays settled.

What you get

Claim entitlement and quantum assessment
Extension of time and delay analysis
Loss and expense and prolongation cost evaluation
Negotiation and settlement meetings
Settlement agreement record

More about claim settlement →

Final Account Preparation

One agreed figure. Project closed.

The final account reconciles the contract sum, re-measured work, variations, claims, provisional sums, retention and damages into one agreed figure. We prepare it or audit the contractor's, resolve the open items and get it signed, so the project closes without a dispute.

What you get

Final re-measurement and BOQ reconciliation
Variation and claims reconciliation
Provisional sum and prime cost adjustment
Retention, damages and contra-charge statement
Agreed final account statement
