Our Services

Commercial risk, cost certainty and project performance assurance for capital projects — from baseline to close-out, with earned value and quantity evidence at the centre.

Service 01

Commercial Governance & Risk Advisory

Sharper decisions, governance and action control when reports exist but do not explain the full position.

We review budget, forecast, commitments, contract, invoices, schedule, change log, payment records, field records and current reports — then give management one view of cost, risk, decisions and next actions.

  • Project & Cost Health Checks (2–4 weeks)
  • Commercial risk and governance reviews
  • Cost-reduction options and implementation support
Service 02

Cost Certainty & Project Performance Assurance

Cost, schedule, quantity and commercial control with digital and field evidence behind progress, payment and forecast confidence.

  • Earned Value Management and Rules of Credit support
  • Change, claim, entitlement and quantum review
  • Quantity surveying, progress measurement and field verification

Cost Certainty: Baseline to Close-Out

From baseline to close-out, with earned value and quantity evidence at the centre. Digital and field evidence should support progress, payment and forecast confidence.

01 Baseline

Set the control structure

Estimates, WBS, quantities, Rules of Credit, control account structure and cost codes.

02 Measure

Verify what is installed

Installed quantities, field checks, BIM/model quantities, progress claims, payment evidence and schedule status.

03 Analyze

Explain the movement

Earned value, cost variance, schedule variance, productivity, EAC, ETC and trend movement.

04 Act

Decide with owners named

Change review, commercial recommendations, forecast updates, payment decisions, recovery actions and close-out.

Core deliverables include cost reports, progress dashboards, payment review notes, EVM summaries, forecast reviews, change logs, claim review records and commercial management summaries.

Earned Value With Evidence

Percent complete is not enough. Earned progress should be tied to scope, quantity, cost, schedule and field evidence.

Planned Value

What work was planned? Baseline, WBS, Rules of Credit and planned progress.

Earned Value

What work was earned? Verified quantities, approved progress, field evidence and completed scope.

Actual Cost

What did the earned work cost? Invoices, labour, equipment, commitments and cost codes.

Field-Verified Progress: The Evidence Hierarchy

CircleEdge Rule: No payment is approved without crossing at least 4 of these 6 evidence levels.

Level 1 · Low trust

Contractor self-reported progress

Progress claims, percent-complete estimates and invoiced quantities — unverified starting point.

Level 2 · Basic check

Contract & Rules of Credit review

BOQ alignment, payment definitions, contractual terms and milestone entitlement check.

Level 3 · Model verified

Engineering & BIM model quantities

As-designed vs as-built quantities, 3D model take-offs, fabrication drawings and design intent validation.

Level 4 · Field verified

Field walkdowns & daily records

Site inspections, installed quantity counts, inspector sign-offs, daily reports and photographic evidence.

Level 5 · Digitally proven

Drone / laser scan / GeoSLAM

Reality capture, point-cloud comparison, volumetric analysis and as-built vs as-designed deviation.

Level 6 · Board ready

Integrated EV & payment decision

Verified quantities → earned value → cost variance → forecast update → board-ready payment decision.

Recommended first step

Project & Cost Health Check

A focused 2–4 week executive diagnostic for one cost, report, payment or change-control issue — or for broader cost pressure, open changes, weak reporting or management concern.

After CircleEdge, management can see what is supported, what is missing, what can be challenged, what must be accepted, what needs approval, and who owns the next action.

Flexible Support, Measured from Day One

Engagements start with a starting forecast, open changes and claims, unsupported or duplicate charges, missing records, cost options submitted and actions accepted.

Executive Diagnostic

2 weeks. Best for one cost, report, payment or change-control issue.

Project & Cost Intervention

2–4 weeks. Best for cost pressure, open changes, weak reporting, or management concern.

Ongoing Commercial Advisory

Monthly retainer. Best for continued cost review, project controls, commercial advice and management reporting.

Let’s turn project pressure into a controlled action plan.
