Hanscomb Limited - Quantity Surveyors, Cost Consultants, Loan Monitoring, Financial Analysis & Cost Control

Anyone can plan for project costs. At Hanscomb, we plan for everything.

We’re not just numbers guys. For our clients, we’re an important part of the design process and active members of the design team—right from the start.

That’s why our Cost Planning and Control process breaks down every project into

segments using an elemental cost-estimating format prepared by the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors. While these aren’t hard numbers, they help us contrast and compare cost estimates, and arrive at values that are meaningful.

But we don’t walk away from the project after delivering our initial cost estimate. As the design moves forward, we develop cost estimates at each milestone using the latest available design information. Each segment comes with its own cost and outline specifications. For our clients, that means much better cost clarity.

While our Cost Planning and Control process is painstakingly complex, our objectives are simple. Our focus is to:

Make sure expenditures don’t exceed what’s been allocated for each project segment
Achieve the best value for every single dollar spent
Balance the expenditures for each segment throughout the project lifecycle

Through our Cost Planning and Control process, we establish a cost plan that accounts for all kinds of risks, including these big ones:

Design information that’s incomplete or incorrect
Cost escalation
Unanticipated changes during construction

It’s a process that works harder and smarter, so you can rest easier.
