Professional cost control, contract & project management that protects your budget, your project, and your peace of mind.
Planning a build or renovation? Chatwins QS Ltd provides expert cost and project management to keep your project on budget, well-managed, and stress-free.
COST PLANS & ESTIMATES
A clear cost plan gives you certainty before you commit. It sets a realistic budget based on your brief, highlights where money is being spent, and shows how design choices affect the final build cost. By identifying risks, allowances and potential savings early, it prevents nasty surprises once work is underway.
A well-prepared cost plan keeps your project financially controlled from concept to completion—helping you make informed decisions, protect your investment, and deliver your build on budget.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
At Chatwins QS Ltd, our Contract Administration service ensures your building project is managed in strict accordance with the agreed contract. We act as an impartial professional throughout the construction phase, issuing instructions, assessing variations, reviewing payment applications, monitoring progress, and maintaining accurate records.
Our role keeps the project compliant, transparent, and properly documented — reducing risk for everyone involved.
What is a Contract Administrator ?
A Contract Administrator (CA) is responsible for managing the building contract on behalf of the client, ensuring the project is administered correctly and in accordance with the agreed terms. The role includes issuing instructions, certifying payments, assessing variations and extensions of time, and managing key contractual processes through to completion.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Good project management takes the stress out of building. Acting as your independent professional representative, we plan, coordinate and control every stage of your project—from initial design through to completion.
We manage budgets, programmes, consultants and contractors, ensuring the right decisions are made at the right time. For domestic homeowners, this means clear communication, fewer surprises, and a smoother journey from idea to finished home, with your time, money and peace of mind protected throughout.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGMENT
Our Construction Management service provides clients with direct control over their project through a structured and transparent management approach. Acting as Construction Manager, we plan, coordinate and manage the works on behalf of the client under a Construction Management contract, overseeing trade contractors, programme, cost and quality from start to finish.
This approach allows works to be packaged, procured and started earlier, offering greater flexibility and cost transparency throughout the build. By actively managing risk, interfaces and programme, we help clients maintain control of cost and decision-making while ensuring projects are delivered efficiently, safely and in line with the overall project objectives.
