The Cost Management/Quantity Surveying division of Carraig Consultancy offers Clients procuring/building their own home/project, a priced Schedule of Materials and Works detailing the necessary materials and works for the particular build. The Schedule accurately defines the exact material requirements for a build together with the current industry cost for that material - thereby allowing self builders excellent opportunities to achieve value for money through knowing the exact quantity of each material required, lack of material wastage and greater 'economies of scale' bargaining power through the ability to order materials in bulk. As the Schedule details exactly what self builders should expect to pay for each relevant trade, self builders have the upper hand when negotiating with tradesmen and suppliers. The Schedule of Materials and Works gives a full budget of the total construction cost of a specific project which is a significant benefit when dealing with mortgage providers and a substantial aid in procuring the build within budget.
