Commercial support for construction and property businesses

Procurement, contract and delivery expertise for contractors, developers and property owners.

In short

Construction and property businesses live and die on commercial control. Margins are thin, subcontract exposure is real, and the difference between a good year and a bad one is usually a small number of contracts that were priced or managed badly.

What organisations here usually need help with

  • Subcontract packages priced before the risk was understood
  • Material and labour cost movement outrunning the contract mechanism
  • Variations and change control that nobody is keeping on top of
  • Supply chain concentration in critical packages
  • Growth that has outpaced commercial and quantity surveying capacity

How we help

Procurement and commercial support

Package strategy, supply chain selection and negotiation, with attention to where the risk actually sits rather than where the contract says it does.

Programme and project delivery

Programme and project leadership on complex schemes, plus independent review when a scheme is drifting.

Change and transformation

Process work across estimating, buying and commercial management so the same mistake stops repeating.

Commercial governance

Contract administration, change control and supply chain performance, including the discipline around variations.

Systems and process change

Estimating, project and finance system implementation, and getting site teams to use them.
