Estimating and Cost Management
Our Estimators and Cost Specialists are thought leaders in their field. Highly skilled and experienced, they bring a wealth of knowledge and innovation to every engagement. Our standards, processes and tools have been refined by our team over time and are leveraged to provide exemplary outcomes for our clients.
- We Estimate a wide range of projects and programs. Our approach to estimates promotes realistic and transparent estimates including elements such as risk and uncertainty. We follow a repeatable process to ensure estimates are reliable and comprehensive while recognising the need for different approaches based on the work being estimated.
- We Manage Cost across all stages of a project lifecycle enabling strong financial control and reporting. We provide clear and accurate control and reporting with a focus on cost to date and estimate to complete. Our clients benefit from key information to support decision making, with a focus on at complete forecasts.
- We Report cost and performance accurately with a focus on Estimate to Complete (ETC) and Estimate at Complete (EAC). We implement and use industry standards including Earned Value Management (EVM), either in “simple” or more complex forms, such as those required within Defence major acquisition projects.
