CASE STUDY-07
Cost Transparency & Pre-Tender Control
Luxury Villa | Residential | Dubai
DECISION AT STAKE
Can full cost visibility be achieved before contractor engagement to eliminate financial uncertainty?
01 THE DECISION CONTEXT
A high-end villa required detailed BOQ validation and cost analysis prior to tendering.
02 THE RISK
- Hidden cost escalation during construction - Misaligned specifications vs budget - Contractor-driven pricing ambiguity - Overdesign without cost awareness
03 OUR INTERVENTION
- Reviewed full BOQ and quantities - Conducted technical price analysis - Identified cost gaps and overlaps - Proposed alternative materials and suppliers
04 THE IMPACT
- Established accurate cost baseline
- Enabled informed contractor negotiations
- Reduced overall construction budget
- Increased financial control and transparency
WHAT THIS CASE PROVES? Cost control is not achieved during construction — it is defined before tendering.
