Providing confidence in procuring your projects.

Have you experienced any of the following?

Inaccurate:

Construction budgeting
Estimation of project durations
Appreciation of contract risk

Uncertainty of:

Appropriate supply chain
Best procurement routes
Best contractual routes

Procter Street will recommend the next steps for your project.

We work for a wide variety of clients including Local Authorities, Developers, and Main Contractors nationwide. We can provide advice from Concept Stage:

A detailed review of your project.
A written report including:
- A construction cost estimate to your method of measurement.
- A project programme from business case to completion in your required software (i.e. P6, Asta).
- Costed risk allowances per RIBA/Gateway Stage.
- Opportunity & VE recommendations report.

We’ve just expanded our offering to also include:

Buildability assessments (temp works, compound locations sizes, subcontract procurement requirements etc.).
Programme and pre-con support.
Procurement, and management of surveys (topo, SI, drainage GPR, Arb etc.).
Procurement and management of early-stage design (Geotech, Civils.).
Commercial development.
Contract development.

Benefits of this approach:

Save money and time getting your procurement right first time.
More accurate forecasting.
Professional advice from consultants that understand contractors and how they perceive risk.

Cost.

Cost below Local Authority procurement thresholds. Numerous Routes to market available including Crown Services, Constellia, and ESPO.
Direct award outside of pre-existing frameworks. Most time can be directly awarded under Local Authority thresholds.

Why Procter Street?

P&S gave us honest informative advice from a contractors view point. It helped us realise a £1m cost saving on a £30m project which would have slipped away if we hadn’t addressed it before the next gateway.
