From feasibility studies to procurement and tendering we provide a range of cost consultancy services to meet your needs. Whether you are seeking cost management, cashflow forecast, value management, and procurement strategies we work with you to assess viability, control costs, maximise value, and minimise risk. You can be assured you are in safe hands with BWP.
Cashflow Forecasting
A cashflow forecast predicts funding needs at any project stage, ensuring financial certainty. It includes construction and wider costs like planning fees and relocation. Pre-contract forecasts aid expenditure management, while adaptable designs provide accurate updates, accommodating changes in scope or progress for effective financial control throughout the project.
Cost Management and Planning
BWP provides comprehensive cost management services from inception to final account, ensuring value, reducing risk, and achieving client goals. We establish budgets with viable options, procure effectively to control risk and secure competitive pricing, and manage costs with rigorous control systems. Services include feasibility advice, cost planning, benchmarking, procurement strategy, tendering, change control, and final account settlement, delivering cost-efficient solutions across all project stages while continually refining our practices.
Feasibility Studies
Feasibility studies evaluate a project’s financial, commercial, and technical viability. At BWP, we create tailored reports addressing scope, design, costs, compliance, and programme details.
Acting as Lead Consultant, we coordinate any required specialists, ensuring clients receive clear, specific advice to fully assess schemes before committing significant capital expenditure.
Procurement and Tendering
Procurement and tendering strategies are vital for project success.
BWP tailors approaches to reduce risk and improve cost efficiency, balancing time, cost, and quality. With expertise in single-stage, two-stage, and negotiated tenders, we guide clients through all procurement routes, including innovative solutions like enabling works to shorten project timelines.
Value Management
Value management ensures value is added from the start by identifying cost-effective solutions without compromising objectives. Value engineering, integral to cost consultancy, eliminates unnecessary costs while maintaining quality. By considering materials, logistics, statutory constraints, and design alternatives, it reduces lifecycle costs, enhances quality, and minimises environmental impact, benefiting all stakeholders.
Client Feedback
” We have worked with BWP for several years, successfully delivering both large and small projects. A recent example is the Bridge Square project in Lancaster, where BWP expertly managed the replacement of combustible cladding and waterproofing of deck walkways. BWP handled the project with professionalism and skill, ensuring effective collaboration between contractors and sub-contractors. Their communication and precise project management, especially in managing the budget, were crucial to the project’s success. I highly recommend BWP for any project. ”
“Speedy Hire are delighted with the service provided by BWP. They consistently achieve very advantageous settlements as and when we undertake a Depot closure or relocation. Not only are these secured below expenditure expectations, but BWP also manage the process in a very smooth, professional, thorough and approachable manner throughout. Minute attention to detail is combined with a commercial and pragmatic approach, and we have total trust in the work carried out on our behalf.
BWP also take care of our contract administration and project management requirements and work closely with our internal property team to ensure that projects are delivered on time and on budget despite difficult projects with tight time constraints.”
“We have had the pleasure of working with BWP for several years, and they have played a key role in the development and success of our company, Swim. Most recently, BWP expertly managed the full project for our new swim centre at the Xscape Castleford leisure park. As always, their attention to detail and communication were exceptional, and this particular site presented unique challenges, given the presence of several high-profile retailers and leisure operators within the Xscape centre. Despite these challenges, BWP worked diligently to ensure seamless communication between all contractors and the centre management team. This included managing the delivery of high-value items, coordinating the movement of equipment through the main mall connections, and overseeing night work for essential utilities and services. Additionally, BWP’s control of the budget was exemplary, and the project was completed under the original tendered cost. We highly value our ongoing partnership with BWP and look forward to continuing to work together in the future. ”
“BWP were appointed by Plumlife Management to undertake Project Management works for large scale complex external works at Fairhaven Court in September 2023. They have a track record of working on large scale major works projects, so were the ideal partner for this works programme. As well as providing the surveys and contract administration functions, they also attended Resident Association and Full Resident Meetings at no further charge which was welcome and also provided their expertise which was invaluable at these meetings, as residents as many questions to answer. They have always been proactive in their management of this project and organising what is required to complete the works on me. On this basis I can recommend their future services to the company.”
“From the start of the project the team at BWP were clear and concise in the way they managed the project. This included completing the design phase and then managing the tender process as well as delivering the project from start to finish. All stages were managed exceptionally with the team at BWP always being available to answer questions or queries to support in resolving anything that came up during the project. BWP supported in managing the cashflow and staging of the payments which also helped to ensure we were delivering both financially and operationally. I would recommend BWP to support in any project management works.”
