Cost Consultancy

Providing independent, impartial and value-driven advice on the full breadth of construction and property costs to secure real return on investment. The effective management of cost is a critical factor in the successful delivery of our client’s project objectives and outcomes. We support our clients by providing a proactive, ‘hands-on’ and innovative approach to the management of cost and value at each stage of the development lifecycle. Our culture, vision and values are at the heart of our approach to what we do and how we do it, and a belief that truly innovative solutions are made through continuous learning and the sharing of ideas.

 How we do it?

 Our approach is to actively manage costs, identifying and addressing potential issues early, providing informed advice at the appropriate time to facilitate client control and enable business decisions to be taken with confidence. Coupled with this approach, we think beyond our discipline and use innovative approaches to fully participate in a team based approach to project working.

Construction Management

 It has been called the ‘heart and soul’ of the company, where Afot began and built its reputation. Afot has delivered over 100 construction management projects. Today, construction management accounts for nearly 70% of the overall capital cost of our projects. Afot is as much based on the principle of construction management and finding a better way of delivering for clients, today as it was when the company was founded.

 Specialists Services

 What our specialist construction teams bring to our sites is simple: the improvement of day to day operations through well-established procurement and delivery processes; the protection of assets and facilities; expertise in design, planning façade engineering and 3D technology; and the integration and management of materials, plant, operatives and all site activities. An integrated, focused and efficient service that drives value exactly where our clients need it, on site right at the heart of their construction project. Our MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health), secure construction, construction technical services, façades and logistics teams are made up of handpicked specialists who are dedicated to helping sites operate more efficiently and driving value. The work done by these teams is not just a requirement, it is often a necessity. Whether it be managing the design, supply, installation and commissioning for MEP works, giving focus to security of assets, infrastructure and ensuring business continuity, or developing logistics strategies that realize value on site and improve day to day operations and safety, our experts have the skills and experience to get the job done. Providing support to the entire construction business, our Construction Technical Services team includes specialists in the fields of design, engineering, planning, 3D technology, MEP services and innovation. Brought together with the collective aim of enhancing value, managing risk and fostering new thinking, the team is a valued part of any project, delivering quality outcomes time and again. Our façades specialists are also committed to adding value on site. Working across sectors, the team continue to support cladding managers on each project to ensure progress and process monitoring is controlled. Each team takes a holistic, integrated and collaborative approach to projects, working together with the entire team on site from the earliest stages. Often the lynchpin of a project, and always effective enablers, our MEP, secure construction, construction technical services, façades and logistics teams work hard to enhance performance on site at every stage of construction.

Strategic Advisory Services

An entrepreneurial approach, a spirit of adventure, a track record of delivery and a relentless pursuit of a better way. At Afot we take a different approach to strategic advisory; we think bigger than the build. Shaping cities and helping our clients build sustainable communities across the globe is in our DNA. From socio-economic assessment, place making, stakeholder integration and strategic planning, to procurement, risk management, community engagement and assurance, our advice looks beyond the build. With a track record of delivering complex capital investment schemes – from portfolios to programmes to projects – we advise our clients from the earliest stage, providing insight, identifying risks and opportunities, and helping to overcome the biggest programme challenges. We look closely at the needs of places and communities, and draw on the expertise of the exceptional people in our development, construction, consultancy and facilities management teams to develop bespoke solutions for our clients. Furthermore, we tailor our approach to provide value for money, offering discrete services as well as fully integrated solutions, depending on the needs of a place and its people. Our breadth of experience and full lifecycle delivery capability is at the heart of our business. Whether you are putting together the business case, wanting to know how to create a lasting legacy, upgrading existing real estate or preparing to deliver a major new programme, we have the people who can help.
