Cost Planning

We provide comprehensive cost planning services to developers, architects, and private clients, enabling early intervention, financial clarity, and informed decision-making at the critical early stages of a project. Our cost plans are designed to support site viability assessments, guide design development, and provide a realistic understanding of construction budgets before land purchases, planning submissions, or detailed design work is completed.

Construction Estimating Consultants Ltd prepares high-quality cost plans ranging from initial high-level feasibility estimates to detailed elemental breakdowns. Using recognised industry methodologies and real-time market data, we produce accurate assessments based on NRM1, elemental templates, and benchmarked construction costs across residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, and care sector schemes.

Our cost planning focuses on accuracy, transparency, and practicality. We break down each element of the project to show where costs sit, highlight risk areas, and identify opportunities for value engineering—all while maintaining design integrity. This early commercial insight allows clients and design teams to understand whether a scheme is financially viable, make informed design adjustments, and progress confidently toward planning or procurement.

We deliver cost plans quickly and professionally, recognising the fast-moving nature of property transactions and development decisions. Whether assessing a small residential site or a large commercial development, we provide the financial clarity needed to support confident investment, secure funding, and guide successful project delivery.
