Budget Accuracy
Meridian Living engaged BuildRight at RIBA Stage 2 following an initial cost plan 22% above feasibility appraisal. The 340-unit build-to-rent scheme needed fundamental cost plan restructuring to restore scheme viability and regain development funder confidence.
Our team conducted a detailed elemental audit identifying specification over-engineering and provisional sum inflation as primary cost drivers. We produced a revised Stage 2 cost plan benchmarked against 12 comparable BTR schemes and facilitated structured value engineering workshops with the architect and M&E engineers.

Bids Received
Summit Developments required a procurement specialist for a two-stage tender on a 95,000 sq ft grade-A office campus. A previous tender on a similar scheme saw three contractors withdraw, causing a 14-week programme delay.
BuildRight designed a two-stage tender process with a curated longlist of eight contractors. We prepared comprehensive employer's requirements, a detailed preliminaries schedule, and a bill of approximate quantities to anchor Stage 1 pricing.

Reports On Time
The NHS Trust required specialist healthcare QS expertise for a new 120-bed inpatient ward extension. Healthcare cost management presents distinct challenges — HTM compliance, infection control specifications, specialist MEP systems, and complex stakeholder governance.
We appointed a lead QS with 12 years' NHS estate experience. Our cost plan was structured to NHSi reference costs and benchmarked against the NHS Building Cost Information Service database. Monthly cost reports were produced in the Trust's standard format.

Success Rate
A main contractor engaged BuildRight for quantum expert witness services in a JCT D&B adjudication involving disputed loss and expense, prolongation costs, and an alleged defects counterclaim on a £42M city office fit-out.
Our lead expert QS reviewed contemporaneous records, the contractor's programme, and prepared a detailed quantum report with eight appendices — prepared to CPR Part 35 standards with a clear rebuttal of the employer QS' counterclaim methodology.
