Cost Management, Planning & Control

Cost Management Expertise

Independent cost management built on six decades of delivery experience.

Maintaining cost certainty in today’s delivery environment requires more than accurate estimating. Market volatility, shifting priorities and evolving scope require disciplined control and forward-looking insight. Without structured governance or visibility of cost drivers, even well-planned programmes risk overruns and loss of control.

Effective cost management gives you back that control. With forward-looking planning, data-backed forecasting and risk-adjusted modelling, you can assess viability early, manage exposure and maintain alignment between scope, budget and delivery strategy. At TBH, we bring more than 60 years of experience in cost management and project controls, trusted globally for our independence and precision. Our integrated cost models give you real-time visibility across feasibility and delivery, linking programme and risk data to enable faster, more informed decisions. Each engagement benefits from senior oversight and a holistic approach that combines cost, time and risk disciplines, ensuring decisions are informed, transparent and defensible.

Our ‘Design to Cost’ methodology embeds efficiency, constructability and value from the outset, helping you to reduce uncertainty and deliver with confidence.
