About us

Who we are

For the past 60 years, we have been collecting, collating, analysing, modelling and interpreting cost information.

We also provide consultancy and research support to clients from both the public and private sector

From insurance to infrastructure, asset and facilities management to construction early cost advice, we deliver independent data so you can increase cost and performance certainty whilst helping manage and mitigate risks
