Value engineering
Value engineering looks at every element of a design and asks whether there is a better way to deliver the same performance — a different material, a simpler detail, a more efficient construction method. Cost planning keeps the budget accurate from the first concept estimate to the final account.
Because LINX designs, prices and builds, our cost plans are written by the people who will be held to them — the difference between an estimate and a figure you can build to.

On site with LINX
Savings found on paper only count if they survive contact with the site. Our cost plans are prepared alongside the construction team, so the method we price is the method we build.
That is also why we are comfortable being brought in early — the cheapest time to change a design is before it is drawn in detail.

A systematic analysis of a design to optimise its value — identifying alternative solutions that maintain or improve performance while reducing cost.
As early as possible. Before the drawings are fixed, a change costs a line on a plan; once work has started, it costs time and materials.
It shouldn't. The point is to maintain or improve performance while reducing cost, and every recommendation comes with a clear cost-benefit analysis so you decide.
Yes. We prepare cost plans and financial models for funding applications, investor presentations and development appraisals, including cash flow forecasting and ROI analysis.
From £2,000. The exact fee depends on the size and complexity of the project and is confirmed after your consultation.
