Carry out studies to satisfy that an adequate return on the capital invested is achieved. Other than this, we undertake studies to ensure that the proposed project is technically feasible considering the available technology and cost of using such technology.

Work out the probable cost of the project based on data from current market prices and making necessary adjustments for price escalation and fluctuation before tender and during construction. Our objective is to give probabilistic final account figure so as not to cause our client any financial embarrassment.

We offer the cost of alternative construction method and material and construction to realize the optimal design.

Prepare tender documents such as bills of quantities, specifications and agreements. Advise the client on a suitable list of contractors from whom tenders may be invited.
