SERVICE

Cost management and construction cost assessment.

-We offer these services to each stage, from planning, design, and tendering to the final construction.
-It is a monitoring menu to find the right balance between targets and costs.

It is crucial managing the cost appropriately throughout the construction project, not only in a single stage. In addition to simply assessing construction costs, we offer multisided support services that include determining the initially necessary budget, giving advice at the design stage, and supporting the selection of a general contractor that presents reasonable construction costs. The construction cost assessment is the service we have provided most frequently since our establishment and has received a high evaluation, and is related to cost estimation and price negotiation support at the construction order stage.

Cost management

Control the cost throughout the project

Cost management is implemented throughout the project, from construction planning to completion. Nowadays, it cannot be said that budgets can be adjusted only by assessing construction costs. The theme is to reduce the risk of budget overruns at each stage and to carry out appropriate management.
Specifically, we attend meetings at the design and construction stages, implement timely measures, move projects forward to place construction orders within budget, and support project owners with multifaceted measures such as budgeting based on actual prices, scrutiny of plans, VE/CD studies and holding tenders.

Some quotations include additional payments in direct construction costs and make the overall cost look normal. Hankyu CM will conduct an in-depth assessment by separating the pure profit of the general contractor and surplus costs. It is also noteworthy to avoid giving discounts to the constructor as much as possible.

Extremely limited price negotiation periods could have a negative impact on cost reduction.

Clients Ask:

The construction start date has been sharply decided, and I needed more time to check the validity of prices. What should I do to have the most reasonable cost?

Solution:

Please order with as much leeway as possible. If you contact us from the design stage, we can provide you with additional advice. It would be more effective since we can adapt the VE study at the design stage to avoid extra costs.
