Brant Associates provide a comprehensive cost planning service. Experience on both the professional practice and contracting sides of the industry enables us to accurately assess the financial implications of design and user requirements.

All projects should be developed within the guidelines of a Cost Plan.

Each element of the design needs to fit within the available budget.

A detailed Cost Plan sets the budget for individual elements.

Management of the Cost Plan ensures that nasty shocks are avoided when tenders are opened.

Individual projects are divided into BCIS elements.

Budgets are set for each element based on the available funds for the scheme.

During the detailed design stages cost checks are undertaken on each element.

Design is rationalised in order that the overall cost can be effectively managed.

If and when appropriate revised levels of funding are agreed. The object of cost planning is always to ensure that the Client spends what he expects and can afford.
