Independent cost advice at every stage of your project.
Small-scale Philippine projects are our priority, and we also support contractors overseas. Every engagement starts with a free consultation and a fixed quotation before any work begins.
BOQ & Cost Estimates
We prepare an itemised bill of quantities and a cost estimate from your drawings and specifications. Use it to set your budget, compare contractor quotes on a like-for-like basis, or apply for financing.
- Measured quantities by trade, priced at current Philippine rates
- Summary by work package for budgeting and loan applications
- Clear assumptions and exclusions, so nothing is hidden
Contractor Quote & Contract Review
We check a contractor's quotation for overpricing, missing items and hidden exclusions, then review the contract for payment terms, retention, variations, delays and liability.
- Line-by-line comparison of quotes against a fair benchmark
- Written summary of contract risks and what to negotiate
- Plain-language explanation, in English or Filipino
Cost Control & Cash-Flow Forecasting
We monitor your project's costs during construction: budget against actual spending, progress billing checks, and a month-by-month forecast of your cash needs.
- Monthly cost report with budget, committed and forecast cost
- Verification of each progress billing before you pay
- Early warning on overruns, while there is still time to act
Variation & Cost Validation
Has your contractor submitted an extra-work claim? We independently check the quantities, rates and justification, so you pay a fair price for genuine changes, and nothing for the rest.
Final Account Review
At handover, we reconcile the final quantities and every outstanding claim, so you make the correct final payment and close out the contract cleanly.
Project Advisory for OFWs & Homeowners
Can't be on site? We guide you through planning, contractor selection, comparing quotes and procurement, and act as your independent cost adviser from abroad.
Tender & Estimating Support for Contractors
Quantity take-off, tender BOQs and estimating support for contractors in the Philippines and overseas: extra QS capacity when you need it, without adding headcount.
