Our PAC (Pre-Approval & Costing) Process
Clarity Before Commitment. Confidence Before Construction.
Before any fixed-price contract is issued, every project progresses through our structured Pre-Approval & Costing (PAC) Process, a strategic pre-construction phase designed to eliminate uncertainty, reduce risk, and align expectations.
Rather than pricing incomplete drawings or making assumptions, we invest the time upfront to properly understand the design intent, site conditions, and cost implications — ensuring your project is buildable, financially aligned, and ready to proceed with confidence.
What the PAC Process Delivers
✔ Comprehensive Design & Documentation Review
We interrogate the drawings in detail to identify gaps, assumptions, and potential cost exposures before they become variations.
✔ Buildability & Risk Assessment
We assess site access, structural complexity, sequencing, and construction methodology to proactively manage risk.
✔ Early Trade Engagement
Key trades are consulted during this phase to provide realistic, current market pricing — not allowances or guesswork.
✔ Transparent Cost Planning
A structured cost plan is prepared, clearly outlining where your investment is allocated and what is driving cost.
✔ Cost Driver Identification & Value Optimisation
We highlight elements that significantly impact budget and provide strategic alternatives where appropriate — without compromising design integrity.
✔ Scope Alignment Before Documentation Completion
Design and budget are aligned before final documentation is locked in, reducing costly redesign and delay.
✔ Minimised Variations During Construction
Because decisions are made early and deliberately, unexpected costs during the build are significantly reduced.
✔ Greater Cost Certainty Before You Commit
You move into a fixed-price contract with clarity — not assumptions.
Why Clients Choose This Approach
The PAC Process is ideal for clients who value:
• Transparency over guesswork
• Planning over reactive problem-solving
• Long-term value over short-term pricing
• A structured, professional building experience
It protects your investment, your timeline, and the integrity of your design.
The Result
A smoother build.
Fewer surprises.

Greater confidence.
