Cost Management & Quantity Surveying
Find out your project’s feasibility, fast
An accurate feasibility study is a prerequisite of any decision-making process. Whether you need a simple return on capital cost or a detailed discounted cash flow feasibility, RLB can provide independent advice and pioneering approaches to help you stress test your vision. Our dynamic cost benchmarking data and advanced cost modelling can help you to review alternative design options, explore ‘what if’ scenarios and identify the most cost-effective approach.
Deliver certainty and confidence on every project
Financiers depend on transparency to understand their risks. RLB’s two-step approach to financial institution audits offer a comprehensive project profile at the pre-commencement and post-contract stages. We can prepare reports that outline everything from project costs and adequacy of documentation to authority approval monitoring, progress payment assessments and recommendations. With the right information ready, financiers get peace of mind that your project is on track.
Uncover new value through fresh perspectives
When it comes to project success, you want experts that are always searching for something better. By integrating value and cost management, RLB has developed a powerful and dynamic approach that can help you challenge options and design assumptions. We can lead your project team through a participatory workshop that encourages collaboration and creative thinking. With our laser focus on both value and cost during the design phase, you can uncover savings that go straight to your bottom line.
Make smart, strategic decisions every time
Construction is complex – and so too are the decisions that your project teams make. Cost certainty during design and construction relies on robust methodology, up-to-date data and skilled staff. We can apply our proven cost management, monitoring and cost reporting procedures to your project to ensure you control costs and balance your budget. With a global cost database and powerful software out our fingertips, RLB provides accurate and detailed tender documentation and cost estimates on some of the world’s best projects – and your project could be the next one.

How we've helped others meet their challenges
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
SHRINE OF REMEMBRANCE, GALLERIES OF REMEMBRANCE
PRESERVING OLD MEMORIES AND MAKING NEW ONES
When work began on the new Galleries of Remembrance project at Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance, it had all the hallmarks of a challenging project: an immovable deadline, an ambitious design, and a sacred heritage building dedicated to Australian service and sacrifice. Any one of these elements could put pressure on the budget.
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
MIDDLEMORE HOSPITAL TIAHO MAI ACUTE MENTAL HEALTH UNIT
How co-design sets a new standard for mental health facilities in New Zealand
Tiaho Mai, or “the light that comes from the moon and the stars – shine here” as it is known in te reo Māori (the Māori language), is far more than a comforting phrase. Middlemore Hospital’s residential mental health facility in South Auckland is also a ‘shining light’ for healthcare facilities that put people at their heart.
