Our structured approach to cost and risk management enables clients to identify and actively manage the issues that could otherwise impair a successful project outcome. We recognise that an effective cost management service must pro-actively control rather than simply monitor cost and that clients should be able to understand the impact of change before they commit to it. Our risk management service is designed to assist the client and design team in establishing the conditions and processes required for a successful project from the outset – ensuring the early identification and assessment of risk, so that effective monitoring and management plans can be implemented.

Our services can be tailored to suit the needs of the project and client and include:

- The preparation of documentation, which allows for the negotiation of competitive tenders or contracts. This may include pre-qualification documents and the formulation of tender and contract conditions to suit particular circumstances.

- Tender adjudication and assistance with contractor selection.  As a large, established practice we have a comprehensive construction data bank, which facilitates efficient contract negotiation. 

- Effective cost planning, cost control and monitoring throughout the duration of a project, including the regular issuing of cost reports and cash flow projections, supported by our excellent IT-infrastructure.

- Continuous evaluation of work for progress payments and determining final values throughout a project, including the settlement of the final account.  It is here where the Davis Langdon Cost Management service makes the breakthrough difference:  Ensuring that the client pays for value as it is received.

Regardless of the building type, our service offering is designed to reduce risk and maximise value – providing solutions that are sensitive to the specific commercial drivers intrinsic in the different markets of our clients.
