Development & Acquisition Advisory

Independent commercial analysis before capital is committed.

For developers, investors and buyers evaluating a development, acquisition or construction project.

Principal-led by Karl Quartey, Senior Quantity Surveyor

“What am I actually committing capital to, and where is the commercial risk?”

That's the question this work answers. I look at the budget, the contracts and the commercial position behind a project, so you can see the real cost and exposure before you commit.

Cost

Is the budget realistic?

A clear view of what the project should cost, what it will take to complete, and whether the contingency is enough.

  • Development cost review
  • Construction cost due diligence
  • Cost-to-complete assessments
  • Review of project budgets
  • Contingency review
  • Project viability input

Risk

Where does the exposure sit?

The contracts, procurement and live commercial position, including schemes that are part-built or in difficulty.

  • Existing contract review from a commercial perspective
  • Procurement review
  • Contractor exposure
  • Variation and claims exposure
  • Commercial risk assessment
  • Review of partially completed or distressed developments

This is commercial and cost advice on construction matters. It is not regulated investment or financial advice.

Considering selling your business?

Quartey Holdings Limited also considers direct acquisitions of suitable construction-sector businesses. If you're a founder or owner exploring a sale or succession, speak with me about a potential acquisition of your business.
