To meet the buoyant market conditions of recent times, we have
focused our attention on the cost management of building services,
an element which forms a significant, specialised proportion of
most projects.
Our building services division has a dedicated team of experienced
surveyors who are experts in specialist mechanical, electrical and
communication systems and have undertaken research and development
work which has already proved valuable to our clients.
The benefits of having such focused expertise are considerable. The
following are some of the areas in which we are able to make a
valuable contribution:
- Cost planning
- Benchmarking of alternative design options
- Providing an informed perspective on 'value' during the
briefing and planning process, to assist clients meet their
budgets
- The ability to value engineer building services from a
technical perspective
- The informed commercial administration of building services
contracts/sub-contracts
- Building Morphology: providing informed advice on the shape and
form of buildings and how it affects building services
installations and their associated costs
- Audits on work undertaken by other professional teams
- Life cycle costing advice and modelling
We also have a dedicated
economic
research unit› who analyse and examine cost data relating to
building services systems from a number of external sources. The
unit produces a number of industry publications including the
Griffiths Mechanical &
Electrical Price Book which is available to order online from
