Before anything is signed

Every number exists before any concrete is poured

A worked example from a residential development — eight houses over twenty-four months, sales opening in the fourth quarter. Every line below reconciles: revenue minus costs equals the profit, and the profit equals the sum of the quarterly flows. Check it.

Before any of it looked like a house

This is where the money is lost.

Bare ground, delivered blocks, a crane on hire by the day. Every house on this page spent a year looking like this — and someone had to answer for each of those days.

Services

Three ways in. One signature.

I

Consulting

Cost and feasibility before anyone commits money to the project.

  • Bill of quantities
  • Contingency
  • Buildability review
II

Site supervision

Owner-side control over a contractor you have already hired.

  • Hidden works
  • Payment certificates
  • Claims and defects
III

General contracting

The whole build — budget, subcontractors, schedule, handover.

  • One contract
  • Fixed budget
  • One name on it
Accountability

Four things, in writing

Cost

Priced bill of quantities with a stated contingency. No open items after signing.

Time

Schedule with a critical path and weekly reporting.

Quality

Hidden works inspected at every stage, defects closed before handover.

Documents

Permits, utilities and authority sign-off — tracked, chased and closed.

Wherever you are

Send the documents.

What comes back first is not a price — it is the questions. Then a price and a programme, and after that you can stop thinking about it.

The one name on the contract is not a person’s — it is ours. When something goes wrong on site, you call Planuum. There is no second number.
