What we do
We are an enterprising firm that seeks to address the project controlling needs of organisations and individuals involved in construction contracts.
Essentially, we combine Construction Economics with Project Planning adding Earned Value Management in CCS Candy to provide Project Controls Services that help our clients deliver their construction projects within the set deadlines and budgets.
Our aim is to be the most effective Project Management Solution for Estimating, Project Planning, Tracking, Controlling and Reporting to ensure successful delivery of projects by developing Bills of Quantities and the most appropriate method and sequence of construction events in conjunction with Project Managers or Site Agents and Foremen.
We plan and oversee the program of works as required, and anticipate a contracts demand in terms of Labour, Material, Equipment and their costs as well as ensuring that a Project is completed safely to a high technical standard.
It is also our responsibility on behalf our clients to deal with Penalty Clauses for late completion when preparing Extension of Time Claims (EOTs).

Question & Answer
How much does it cost to build?
Construction costs are dependent on the size, type and specifications of your design. A qualified quantity surveyor is well equipped to advise on this by providing a bill of quantities and materials schedules.
How long will it take to build?
Just like with the cost, construction durations are dependent on the size and type of your design. A competent project planner, in this case, is well equipped to advise by providing a program of works.
What is the general cost per square metre (US$/m²)?
The general conception that there is such a rate is actually wrong, it is in fact variable. As the building footprint increases in design, the US$/m² decreases. The relation between two factors (floor area & rate) is inversely proportional to each other.
Why do construction projects breach set budgets and deadlines?
This is hugely caused by;
♣ incompetent budget estimates by tradesmen directly to clients,
♣ inconsistent production outputs on site due to lack of professional supervision and checks,
♣ procurement of materials not in line with the set budgeted quantities.
Other reasons (but not exhausting) are;
♣ unreconciled deliveries of bulk materials such as aggregates,
♣ deviations and multiple changes to the design on-site,
♣ unrealistic expectations that are far from reality.
