Cost Management & Quantity Surveying
Commercial Certainty Built on Insight, Precision, and Control.
Every successful project begins with confidence in the numbers.
At FIVEi Group, our cost management and quantity surveying services combine analytical rigour with real-world understanding. We translate complex project data into clear commercial direction — ensuring budgets are realistic, risks are visible, and decisions are made with certainty.
​
From feasibility studies to final accounts, we bring clarity and control to every stage of the cost lifecycle, helping clients achieve more value with less risk.
The Challenge
In today’s construction landscape, cost certainty is harder to achieve than ever. Inflation, supply volatility, design evolution, and labour shortages all impact budgets — often before a project even breaks ground. Too many developments falter not because of ambition, but because assumptions went unchecked.
​
We solve this by giving clients clarity before commitment and control throughout delivery. Common challenges we address include:
​
-
Inaccurate or outdated cost data at feasibility stage
-
Poor visibility of risks and cost drivers
-
Fragmented change control and delayed reporting
-
Misaligned budgets between design, client, and contractor
-
Unrealistic value engineering targets that compromise quality
​
Through structured planning, proactive cost control, and transparent reporting, we keep your project commercially stable from concept to completion — no surprises, no excuses.
