The common gaps that cause overspends

Common omissions & exclusions

Waste, scaffolding, prelims and other essential costs that may be excluded from initial quotes

Unrealistic PC/PS allowances

Prime cost and provisional sums that may exceed budget when real-world prices are applied

Timeline and dependency risks

Schedules that look good on paper but may face challenges on site due to dependencies and coordination

Access & groundworks assumptions

Site conditions and access requirements that can significantly impact costs and timelines

Overlapping trades and hold-points

Complex coordination issues between different trades that can cause delays and extra costs

No allowance for contingencies

Insufficient or missing contingency provisions for unexpected issues that always arise
