Feasibility and cost planning
Stress-test an opportunity, understand the margin and identify the assumptions that could undo it.
Contractors, developers & specialists
Stronger control for the next job—and the business behind it.
Ian supports smaller contractors, developers and specialist businesses with the commercial structure, project discipline and senior judgement needed to take on better work with confidence.
See where Ian can help
Good work on the tools still needs strong commercial and project control.
The aim is not unnecessary management. It is a clear scope, credible numbers, a usable sequence and decisions made while there is still time to act.
Practical support
Control the job before the job controls you.
Take-offs and tender support
Build a clearer scope, measurement and pricing basis before the project is won on the wrong number.
Contracts and subcontract packages
Align scope, responsibility, information and commercial terms so the work can be bought and managed properly.
Programme and sequencing
Create an operational plan that recognises access, design release, procurement, labour and interfaces.
Supply chain and specialists
Find the right capability, compare the offer and coordinate packages around what the site actually needs.
Reporting, cost and change control
Introduce proportionate visibility over progress, decisions, risks, variations and cash before surprises arrive.
Project health check
Questions worth answering early.
Uncertainty is useful when it shows us where control is missing. A short review can expose the gaps before site pressure does.
Do you know where the margin is won or lost?
The tender, allowances, procurement route and change process should show where the commercial exposure sits.
Can the programme be used by the people delivering it?
A credible programme reflects design, buying, labour, access, inspections and subcontract interfaces.
Are scopes and responsibilities genuinely clear?
Gaps and overlaps between packages become delays, disputes and unrecovered cost when they are left implicit.
Does reporting help decisions happen?
The best reporting is concise, current and connected to actions—not produced simply to fill a meeting pack.
Start a conversation
Bring me the opportunity, the problem, or both.
A focused first conversation will tell us what the project needs and whether I am the right person to help.
