COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT
Effective monitoring of construction costs is merely one part of the cost management equation. Costs must be controlled at every stage of the development process – from planning, through to design and the construction process. Our competencies are as follows:
- A systematic and proactive approach to managing budgets
- Regular review meetings to monitor budget vs actual
- Life cycle costing
- Commercial Management
- Value Engineering
- Equity participation/B-BBEE targeting and control
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
The structure and scope of certain contracts allow for the appointment of a Construction Manager. The Construction Manager divides the project into smaller logical packages and manages these as an Agent on behalf of the client. The advantages of Construction Management are:
- Greater control of the contractor P&G, resulting in cost savings of up to 7%
- No mark up on s/c trades (ranging between 3-5%)
- Greater flexibility to process client-initiated changes at minimum costs
- Establishment of work packages to suit B-BBEE requirements and/or the appointment of local contractors without requiring Principal Contractor approval.

Forensic Programme and Project Analysis
Delay analysis is the analytical process through which a delay expert such as ORIGIN implements program analysis. This is done in conjunction with a forensic review of project documentation and other relevant data, to assess and apportion the effects of delays and other impacts on the project’s programme. The result of this analysis establishes a defined period that usually extends to the contract completion date and determines the extent to which, if any, delay costs or damages are payable. This outcome not only brings clarity and accountability to project timelines but also plays a pivotal role in optimizing project budgeting and resource allocation.
