Cost management & quantity surveying
Gleeds’ cost managers and quantity surveyors help clients to maximise return on investment, from site acquisition to project completion. Our impartial advice ensures there are no surprises, and that developments deliver the required value.
We enable clients to control project cost, and make the right decisions to support quality, functionality and standards – not only during construction, but across the entire asset lifecycle.
Our support embeds cost certainty, transparency and increased affordability at the outset, minimising risk from the pre-acquisition stage.
Gleeds’ RICS-qualified cost managers optimise capital expenditure through value-enhanced planning, design, construction and operation of facilities. Their skilled estimating, tracking and reporting delivers projects to cost requirements without exception.
Precise and timely cost estimates
Early cost planning and benchmarking allow the design and cost plan to be developed in parallel. This ensures the project keeps within budget, quickly exposes areas where money can be saved, and enables the client to accurately appraise, identify and develop options.
Gleeds’ proprietary OCE Calculator applies advanced data analytics to generate structured and risk-modelled cost forecasts of new construction and refurbishment projects. Automated cost modelling delivers high performance forecasts, to inform decisions about site purchasing, design scope and development.
Our specialist quantity surveyors use 5D Revit models to link costs to individual items and components. This enhances cost accuracy and economies of scale, facilitates value engineering, and provides a link between design and costs.
Having assessed viability, cost and return on investment, our team will prepare and maintain a cost plan and cashflow forecast. Drawing on Gleeds’ whole lifecycle benchmark cost data – captured from comparable projects – enables us to make accurate predictions, as well as validate emerging costs.

Procurement stage
At procurement stage, we advise on the best strategy and handle the tender process, matching contractual arrangements to primary project objectives. Once suppliers have been appointed, we manage the supply chain, enforcing contractual conditions and protecting the client’s interest.
Gleeds continually tracks and analyses the price of commodities, materials, parametric costs, and construction indices. The insight this presents into market trends helps us to accurately budget, make informed decisions on timing and procurement methods, and take appropriate risk provisions.
We proactively monitor and maintain cashflow through every stage of construction, and can continue to provide impartial cost and commercial advice to support clients post-acquisition.
