RESIDENTIAL Services
-
Are you at the ideas and concept drawings stage?
A Budget Cost Analysis can save you from financially over-stretching yourself right at the start of the project.
Our report will help you answer some important questions:
Can you afford your design aspirations?
Are there changes you could make to reduce costs?
-
Are you looking for help to manage costs during construction?
For large renovations and build projects, you’ll want to be releasing stage payments to your builder.
We will act as your project accountants during this phase, performing checks on work done to date and making sure that any progress payments are correct and fair.
We check:
That the right amount of materials and labour is being charged for.
That nothing has been claimed twice.
That you’re paying for what has been completed on site.
Progress Claim Reports make it easy for you to understand what you’re paying for and why.
-
Are you trying to choose a builder?
Measure&More will offer advice on the tender processes, and which contracts are most suited to your particular build.
Our Tender Analysis service includes a review of tender documentation and negotiating on your behalf with your chosen contractor. We provide a useful, independent benchmark when you are choosing your builder. This helps you:
Avoid paying too much for your project.
Compare all tenders equally, even when some builders may have excluded detailed costs in their responses
The Tender Analysis service sets out to minimise your risk when choosing between quotes from builders.
-
During your build project, costs can shift when changes are made to the original specifications and design.
Detailed Variation Control Reports are essential if you’re looking to run your project to a tight budget. We also take on negotiations directly with the contractor on your behalf.
These variations happen when you change your mind about an aspect of the design, when materials need to be substituted or when additional repair work needs to be made. We assess variations in a number of ways:
How does it impact the original budget?
Is it a legitimate change?
Is the cost fair and reasonable?
-
It isn’t unheard of for homeowners to receive bills over twice the amount in the original quotes.
A Final Accounts Assessment will ensure that:
All items are legitimate and correct.
All work has been completed.
All disputes are settled.
All costs are fair and reasonable for the work carried out.
Depending on what is found during the assessment, Measure&More will assist with negotiations between yourselves and your builder.
Our aim is to negotiate final accounts that are fair to all parties.
