How we can help....

Quantti provides valuable support to clients on construction project throughout the UK. Here are just some of the ways we can help:

1. Cost Planning: In the early stages of budget planning, we can develop more accurate cost estimates by combining gross internal floor area rates with market testing of key build elements. This approach allows for a more informed budget from the outset.

2. Budget Management: Overseeing the development and management of budgets to ensure costs stay within established limits, while offering financial guidance as needed.

3. Tendering and Contract Management: Oversee the preparation of tender documents, evaluate bids from main contractors, and negotiate contracts to secure favourable terms.

4. Value Engineering: By reviewing design details, we can uncover value engineering opportunities that add value and further enhance the project.

5. Financial Reporting: Deliver consistent financial updates, comprehensive forecasts, and effective cash flow management to keep clients well-informed of progress and the overall financial status of the project.

6. Monthly Reporting: Conduct monthly on-site valuations to ensure cash flow accurately reflects completed work. Additionally, we offer support in assessing variations during the construction phase.

7. Final Account: By providing monthly projected final accounts, we keep clients accurately informed of the anticipated final figure. We also offer support in negotiating and agreeing the final account sum.

Clients

1. Cost Plans: We develop comprehensive cost plans throughout the various preconstruction stages, from providing detailed analysis and feedback on the client's budget to conducting full market testing as the design develops.

2. Tendering and Estimation: We prepare comprehensive subcontract trade package tender enquiries, which include an enquiry letter, bills of quantities, detailed scope of works, attendance schedule, specific main contractor tender conditions, and a document control sheet.

3. Value Engineering: By critically examining the design, we can identify more cost-effective construction methods. Our value engineering schedules help maintain budget control while ensuring the client's scope and aspirations are upheld.

4. Risk Management: We create detailed risk registers to identify potential risks and, where feasible, assist in developing strategies to reduce or even mitigate these risks.

5. Project Handover: When required, we transition the project to the on-site surveyor, ensuring sufficient time is allocated for a comprehensive understanding of the pre-contract stage. Additionally, we remain available to address any queries throughout the construction phase.

Main Contractors

1. Profitability Valuations: Here, we factor in the value of the land you are planning to purchase or have already acquired and calculate the build cost based on early-stage architectural plans. From this analysis, we assess the value of comparable saleable properties in the area to help determine potential end-out viability.

2. Take-offs: We offer both builder's quantities and full bills of quantities to support the pricing process. Before starting, we provide insights on the progression of the design and recommend the optimal time to begin BQ production.

3. Preparation of Enquires: Leveraging our extensive expertise, we produce project-specific scope of works documents and attendance schedules to strengthen the robustness of enquiries, helping to mitigate potential scope gaps later in the construction process.

4. Cash Flow forecasts: We develop detailed cash flow forecasts and identify potential pinch points during peak production periods. Additionally, we provide support in managing and reducing cash outflow during these high-demand months.

Developers

1. Pricing Documents: In collaboration with the subcontractor, we create comprehensive pricing documents to ensure the main contractor's scope is fully captured and understood. We also assist in implementing an effective pricing strategy and provide support with pricing management for preliminaries and appropriate access equipment.

2. Contract Documents: We review contract documents to identify and highlight any onerous terms and conditions that may be implied.

3. Variations: We price variations thoroughly, ensuring all aspects related to labour, plant, materials, and preliminaries are accounted for. Additionally, we assist in negotiating and finalizing variations with the main contractor.

4. Remeasurement: For packages subject to re-measurement, we provide a comprehensive, fully annotated remeasure to facilitate prompt agreement with the main contractor.

5. Dispute Resolution: We review and address any discrepancies that may arise between the subcontractor and the main contractor to ensure clarity and resolution.

6. Final account: Compile the final account, complete with comprehensive variation backup documentation.
