Applied expertise
Commercial control protects the idea.
Budget control is not a late exercise in reducing quality. It begins when the brief becomes scope. I make assumptions visible, compare suppliers on a common basis, forecast exposure and record change before cost becomes a surprise.
Operating model
A method the team can use.
- 01
Baseline the scope
Write inclusions, exclusions, quantities, service levels, assumptions and acceptance criteria before pricing.
- 02
Compare like with like
Normalise supplier responses, expose omissions and score technical confidence alongside price.
- 03
Forecast continuously
Track committed, forecast, contingency, change and recovery instead of relying on invoice totals.
- 04
Close commercially
Reconcile delivery evidence, variations, credits, supplier performance and lessons before final account approval.
