Leverage the Right Tools: Use CostX, Causeway, or similar tools for digital take-offs and pricing, and ensure documentation meets industry standards (NRM1, BCIS).
Report & Advise: Deliver regular reports outlining risks, assumptions, and mitigation strategies that keep the project on solid financial footing.What We're Looking For
