Cost Estimating Service
Tanmu can advise our clients from inception through to completion and final account on all cost matters ranging from initial budget costings through to agreement of contractor’s final account and total project spend. We pride ourselves on our thorough approach to managing cost throughout the duration of the project.
During the pre-contract phase, our quantity surveyor team will challenge the design at all stages to ensure that it continues to align with the budget and avoid scope creep including advising on alternative construction methods and material choices. Moving into the post-contract phase, we continue to review and challenge cost to ensure that our client’s best interests remain protected.
