Stay ahead by acquiring our construction cost management services to ensure that your team is hitting the target budget.

Project cost management refers to the set of activities employed to estimate, designate, and manage the cost of the construction project by analyzing the scope and productivity with regard to the stated budget limits. It ensures maximum efficiency throughout the entire lifecycle of the project and overrules the effect of cost overruns and time delays.

Smart Estimations being an integrated construction estimating and cost management consultancy, thoroughly understands the challenges of construction companies and the expectations of their clients. Our years of experience in the industry and in-depth knowledge help us to identify our client’s goals, accompany them in their project’s planning, execution, and completion, and strategize their business decisions.

Our expert quantity surveyors and cost managers remain fully involved with the project teams from feasibility analysis, design and development, documentation, pre-construction planning, and construction to closeout rendering cost estimation and cost budgeting and control services. We have a diverse portfolio of working with residential, commercial, industrial, and civil projects in both private and public sectors.

 

Why is project cost management important in the construction industry?

 
Project Cost Management System

Project cost management has proven beneficial to all parties involved in the construction project, be it developers, construction managers, contracting corporations, engineering, and design firms.

It effectively starts with accurate cost estimates to set the initial budget and later measurements to be taken throughout to ensure that the project remains within the budget limits.

 

By achieving effective project cost management practices, you can:

 
  • Set clear objectives for all the stakeholders involved in the project
  • Track project progress to aid in taking the corrective measures instantly
  • Attain good markup, increase return on investment, and mitigate the risk of losing money.
  • Develop data to benchmark for future projects
  • Empowers the extensive features of the project planning including pre-plan, feasibility, operating cost, commissioning, risk analysis, contingency, design, development, maintenance, etc.

Why choose us?

 

Our construction cost management plan comprises all the details on how project costs will be managed throughout the entire lifecycle of the project. It clearly states the criteria by which the costs are evaluated, reported, updated, and identifies all the stakeholders involved in the particular phase of the project. The process starts with estimating all the costs including costs for acquiring land, planning, design, labor, material, contingency, maintenance, etc. Then leading to budget scheduling, managing costs, and analyzing progress at various project milestones.

At Smart Estimations, we offer the most effective management of funds and resources in order to achieve the project’s milestones within budget and time.

  • Cost-effective rates and fastest turnaround times.
  • We have a track record of creating highly precise and comprehensive cost estimates while considering our client’s expectations and design requirements. This ensures that estimated figures meet the final actual cost to the maximum.
  • If at any stage, project cost exceeds the budget limit, we employ value engineering to set the project back on track. While working closely with the designers, our cost managers make sure that all their requirements and considerations are fully met before the next stage starts.
  • Our quantity surveyors perform accurate estimates for labor and material at regular intervals during the construction to develop the cost performance report. If the estimate shows price fluctuations from the initial estimate then cost updates are applied after approval from the owner.
  • We properly organize all the costs involved in the project like direct, indirect, fixed, variable costs, etc. that at any time our client can easily visualize and foresee the project costs.
