If you are just about to embark on a commercial or domestic building project and you are not entirely sure about the costs that may occur, then it is imperative that you get support for the building cost planning.
The main and sole purpose of building cost planning within the UK is to itemise each element of a domestic or commercial construction project to evaluate and calculate the likely overall cost of the build.
Cost planning explicitly refers to the construction costs - it does not include other ancillary fees. Nor does it include any of the expenses you might incur if you must wait for approval or planning permission. Cost planning is solely concerned with letting you figure out how much you can expect to pay for the building part of a commercial or domestic building project.
