Cost Management

Cost Management

ZDS QS’s have been seconded to various construction projects in distress across diverse sectors from mission critical projects (Data Centres) to infrastructure projects.

The subsequent attributes are frequently observed in troubled projects:

  • Insufficient adherence to commercial practices.
  • Inadequate availability of commercial resources.
  • Limited proficiency in commercial matters.

What is meant by deficient commercial discipline is that the contract’s administration lacks precision, and the execution of the Change management process is flawed or frequently absent. A tool or process to handle risk is notably absent, although it’s clear that risk is interlinked with change management. At ZDS, all our Quantity Surveyors employ the EWN process to effectively manage risk, involving initiating risk reduction meetings with all essential stakeholders. Inadequate commercial resources stem from the absence of requisite Quantity Surveyors on the project. ZDS is capable of supplying your organisation with the appropriate Quantity Surveyor to bolster your project.
