Cost Estimation

We produce cost advice that matures with the design — from order-of-magnitude budgets at concept, through elemental cost plans as the scheme develops, to detailed measured estimates before tender. Rates are built up from current Saudi market prices for labour, material, and plant, so the figures reflect real conditions rather than dated benchmarks, and each estimate carries clearly stated allowances, exclusions, and contingencies.

As options emerge we run value-engineering exercises, comparing structural systems, façade build-ups, and finishes on both capital and life-cycle cost so the client can trade specification against budget on evidence. Flagging cost drivers early — long-lead items, imported materials, abnormal ground — lets scope decisions be made while they are still inexpensive to change.

Through delivery we test tender returns against our estimate, advise on the most economical compliant bid, and maintain cost reporting and cash-flow forecasts so the budget is steered, not merely observed. The aim is predictability from concept to handover, with no surprises buried in the detail.
