Cost Management & Quantity Surveying

To achieve commercial success, you need to work with experts who are always searching for something better. By proactively managing costs and using key project drivers and success criteria, our team ensures best value by working closely with you and your stakeholders to achieve the highest quality results. Delivering on project objectives, facilitating informed asset decisions and placing your needs first are all core components of our cost management service. This is how RLB provides confidence in commercial management at every stage of a project’s life cycle, from the development of the business case and feasibility studies, through value engineering and procurement to project delivery.

Enhance value across the project life cycle

Assets often start to be used as soon as they are completed, which is why we understand that their useful working lives commence at that time. RLB is passionate about providing robust cost management services that consider life cycle costs and whole life costs. As part of our holistic approach, we provide options appraisals and assessments of embodied and in-use carbon. Our experts will give the advice you need to make decisions that extend the life and value of your assets.

Make informed, data-driven decisions

It is imperative you have access to trusted data so you can make informed decisions throughout the entire project process and beyond. Using our powerful data analytics software, we will provide you with customised dashboards and live reports. With our in-house cost management tools, you will be able to clearly understand your options and decisions related to property assets. We have the expertise to guide you to innovative, cost-effective solutions that deliver the most value.

Improve your odds of commercial success

The key to commercial success, regardless of the project’s size or scope, is to balance quality with cost. Our experts rank among the world’s best cost managers, so we know how to secure value for money. Using our global experience and industry expertise, coupled with our innovative tools and real-time data, we can provide cost control management services that will achieve the right balance between your business objectives and the costs involved.

Make the best choices with confidence

A project must be undertaken with the confidence that your investment will deliver value as efficiently and effectively as possible. We will apply our proven cost management, monitoring and reporting processes to your project to ensure you control costs and balance your budget. In managing your property assets, we will always place your needs first, helping you to meet your project objectives and providing you with the information you need to make better, more informed decisions.
