Tech Aid Consultants delivers cost, commercial and project control services for civil infrastructure projects in Australia and overseas.

Project Cost Reconciliation

For alliance and collaborative contracts. Cost verifiers confirm that actual costs are valid project costs. TAC complements this by tracking how costs move against the tender scope and assumptions, and separating that movement by source for the alliance team to consider, including in pain/gain share discussions.

Tender Baseline

The tender estimate set up in advanced analytical workbooks, data models, or interactive dashboards with quantities, rates, resources and key assumptions linked.

Design Development and Scope Change

The cost of design creep, scope creep or variations identified by the Contractor, separated from normal design development.

Tender Assumptions and Delivery

Tender production rates and supplier quotes are carried until the Contractor provides delivery information, then the estimate is updated and the difference reported.

Alliance Reporting

Regular reporting of cost movement by source: design development, scope change and delivery conditions.

Cost Planning & Quantity Surveying

Tracking design growth from the tender through each design stage, so cost movement is visible as the design develops.
