FAQS ON COST CONSULTANCY

What is a cost consultant?

A cost consultant is a professional who provides expert advice on managing and controlling costs in construction projects. Some of our Chartered Cost Consultants bring extensive experience to ensure that your project remains within budget while maximising value. We assess costs from the beginning and continuously monitor progress to maintain financial certainty.

What is the role of a cost consultant?

The role of a cost consultant is to guide the financial aspects of a project, from initial planning through to completion. Our consultants contribute early in the design process to help shape decisions that will optimise cost efficiency. We assist in managing the project’s costs, identify potential savings, and offer transparent reporting to keep you informed.

What does a cost consultant do in construction?

In construction, a cost consultant helps control expenses by analysing costs, suggesting cost-effective strategies, and providing valuable insight during every stage of the project. We utilise our knowledge of the design and development process to influence early-stage decisions to ensure your project is both cost-efficient and high-quality. We also work closely with our sister company, TMC, to review materials for both cost-effectiveness and durability.

What is cost management consultancy?

Cost management consultancy involves overseeing and controlling the costs of a project to ensure it stays within budget. We focus on proactive cost management, using our expertise to track costs, advise on value engineering, and implement strategies that reduce unnecessary expenses. We provide detailed and transparent reporting to keep you updated on cost implications as the project moves forward.

What is the difference between a quantity surveyor and a cost consultant?

While both quantity surveyors and cost consultants work on construction projects to manage costs, their roles can differ. A quantity surveyor focuses on accurate measurements, contract management, and cost calculations based on those measurements. A cost consultant, like those at TCC, not only manages costs but also offers strategic advice on budget optimisation, early-stage planning, value engineering, and materials review to ensure the best financial outcomes throughout the project.

What are the cost management tasks in a construction project?

Cost management tasks in construction include budgeting, cost estimation, cost control, and financial reporting. Some of our Chartered Cost Consultants perform these tasks with precision. We focus on controlling costs through accurate measurement, managing the project’s finances, identifying cost-saving opportunities, and providing you with transparent reports to ensure financial certainty and peace of mind throughout the development process.
