Why clients choose Core
It’s not about another spreadsheet. It’s about confident decisions and stronger outcomes.
When the numbers matter and decisions carry weight, you need real cost insight—drawn from delivering projects on site, understanding how they’re built, and knowing where risk and opportunity sit.
At Core, cost consultancy is grounded in real projects, real data, and a clear view of the market. With in-house main contractor experience, costs are built from the ground up—factoring in abnormal risks, buildability, and the realities of delivery. The result is fewer surprises and better-informed decisions from day one.
No two projects are the same, and cost advice shouldn’t be either. There’s no reliance on generic pricing books or overcomplicated reporting. Instead, you get clear advice, accurate figures, and practical recommendations that keep things moving. It’s not about tracking spend for the sake of it. It’s about protecting value, identifying opportunities early, and making sure your project delivers commercially as well as practically.
When you bring us in, you’re not just getting a cost consultant. You’re getting a partner who understands how projects come together, where value is created, and what information you need to make decisions with confidence from start to finish.

Cost Consultancy
Costs built from experience.
Not from a spreadsheet.
At Core, cost consultancy isn’t built on pricing books or broad assumptions. It’s based on real projects, real data, and experience from being on site, not behind a desk.
With a background in Tier 1 main contracting, there’s a clear understanding of how costs come together, where risk sits, and what drives value. Budgets are built properly from the outset, with a clear view of abnormal costs, ground conditions, and the realities of delivery.
That means fewer surprises and stronger commercial decisions from day one.
