Sense

At Sense, the focus is on identifying costs and risk early enough in the project cycle to be able to influence them. It is about establishing and understanding our client's key cost drivers and delivering best value at every level. Sense knows the marketplace, therefore our clients can rely upon getting astute, accurate assessment of proposals in support of their business decisions. Sense is continually challenging itself in its service offer to ensure that is what our clients need, rather than what we as cost consultants are comfortable in delivering. We are also continually challenging all members of the team to make sure that our clients, the design team and the contractors are delivering the best value for the project.

We can apply Sense in many ways:

• high-level strategic cost advice
• feasibility studies and development appraisals
• landlord-tenant negotiations, and premises-search
• procurement and contractual advice
• cost management of projects through their life-cycle
• whole building life costing issues
• taxation advice
• engineering services cost management, including IT infrastructure and hardware, audio-visual/security systems and their inter-relationship with the building process.

Sense is involved in cost management advice in the commercial office, data centre and business critical facilities and the fitting out of offices, residential, educational, retail and leisure sectors in both public and private sectors.
