Cost & Project Management
Shambach is committed to providing our clients with effective cost management services that are accountable to the project budget and that maximize our clients’ return on investment.
Our vast experience and depth of market intelligence as well as our methodologies and cost models have been proven over more than eight decades.
Our contractual management services cover client representation, engineering services for projects, consultant appointments and professional fee management.
Cost Planning
Cost planning and estimation are keys to a project’s success. For each project, Shambach will prepare a cost management control document which is designed to establish cost-effective ways to realize a project’s desired outcomes in terms of timeline and budget throughout all phases of the project’s lifecycle.
In preparation of this document, our team will do an estimation of costs, conduct comparative cost studies, look for cost-effective solutions and materials, assess risk factors and advise on selection of companies tendering to participate in the project.
Once established, SHAMBACH will collaborate with all project team members, architects, engineers, builders, suppliers, designers, consultants etc. to agree-upon and sign-off on the document, thereby keeping the team accountable to the approved project budget.
Masterplan Feasibilities
Unique to each project, a masterplan outlines the long-term strategy based on a comprehensive understanding of the circumstances of that project. This includes feasibility studies of the site conditions, zoning, planning, entitlements, issues relating to green-building, environmental impact, and sustainability as well as a thorough risk assessment, quantification of costs and cost/benefit analysis.
Shambach has developed integrated models to establish complex masterplan feasibility.
Procurement
From the procurement strategy and awarding of contracts to procurement process implementation and management, Shambach offers procurement solutions that are instrumental in the successful delivery of a project.
We set up supply chain strategies and partnerships based on contracts that outline efficiencies, governance, and cost management criteria to mitigate risk.
In addition to procurement services in building projects, Shambach offers procurement of FF&E and OS&E.
