Advisory Services
Cost Consultancy
Your investment in a luxury residential project deserves the same commercial rigour applied to any major business commitment. RB Consult provides board-level cost oversight — protecting your budget, your programme, and your peace of mind.
With full P&L and gross margin accountability, we manage cost from the earliest feasibility stage through to final account — identifying risk before it becomes expenditure, and maintaining financial control at every stage of delivery.
Establishing robust cost plans from the outset and maintaining them rigorously through every design and construction decision.
Strengthened change control processes that prevent cost leakage — one of the most common sources of overrun on luxury projects.
Monthly board-level cost reports, cashflow forecasting, and clear financial summaries — structured around your decisions, not ours.
Full gross margin oversight and cost accountability from pre-construction through to final account settlement.
Independent subcontractor selection, due diligence, and competitive procurement — aligned solely to your interests.
Elemental cost plans, benchmarking against comparable luxury schemes, and value engineering without compromise to specification.
Risk quantification, contingency structuring, and proactive mitigation — so that surprises remain manageable, not damaging.
Detailed cashflow modelling and monthly forecasting that keeps your financial position clear and decisions well-informed.
Robust final account negotiation and settlement, protecting your position at project close.
Cost overruns on high-end residential projects are rarely caused by a single event. They accumulate through a series of unmanaged decisions, unchallenged variations, and inadequate reporting. RB Consult addresses each of these systematically.
Unchecked contractor variations and inadequate change control
Incomplete design at tender stage leading to post-contract costs
Insufficient contingency allocation for specification-level risk
Lack of independent cost oversight allowing contractor-led reporting
Subcontractor procurement without competitive due diligence
Absent or inadequate cashflow forecasting across the project lifecycle
