Approach Working with fellow design team members in all aspects of construction provides us with

a clear understanding of the requirements and expectations of Clients and to allow us

to manage that successfully, we are backed up by a variety of reporting processes.

We as a team work to the same high standards and appreciate the continued need

for:

Integrity Commitment Teamwork Hands-on at all levels of the company

We approach all projects from the out-set with the need to build immediate team spirit

within the Client/ Design team, enabling the team to take responsibility and ownership

of a project in total.

Our reporting system in respect of Project, Change Control and programmes ensure the

Client and team are fully appraised of the project with a clear understanding of its

status.

Services Cost Consultancy

Seaview Consultants Limited offers a hands-on cost management service regardless of

the procurement route or the stage of appointment required. Seaview Consultants

Limited have been able to gather an internal database of costs to enable feasibility

studies, through to the full design process to contract stage on site to on-site monitoring

and project out turn costs. The advantage of early involvement of cost management

cannot be emphasized more in the early savings that can be made on base build

design, it is these works which normally consist of significant project values, and these in

turn are highlighted as being fundamental to the project, as it proceeds.

Project Coordination

Over recent years construction projects have become extremely varied in the

expectations of the design and construction periods. This has provided the need for a

specific management function dealing with an area dedicated to focusing on the

control of works from feasibility to a finished project, whilst enabling specific trades to

concentrate on their own discipline. As such, the Project Coordinator will provide a

single point of contact for the client, in managing the scheme.

Cost Control What is a Cost Consultant?

The Cost Consultant is a specialist whose training and experience are directed towards the

planning and control of expenditure on construction of all kinds.

The Cost Consultant together with the Project Manager/ Lead Designer is a key member of the

development and construction team – the essential link between the Client who commissions

the building, the specialists who design it, and the contractor who build sit. He is the expert on

construction costs and communications, and his services are used from the inception of a

project to its completion.

A Service to Clients

The services which a Cost Consultant would normally provide to a client are:

• Preliminary cost advice and cost planning

• Advice on procurement route and type of contract

• Advice on obtaining tenders

• Preparation of tendering documents

• Negotiations with contractors

• Cost control and preparation of financial statements

• Valuation of work in progress

• Settlement of the final costs with the contractor and sub-contractors
