SERVICES – OVERVIEW
Exactiv provides practical, detail-driven cost planning and commercial advisory services for design and construct fit-out and refurbishment projects.
Our services are designed to give clients early cost clarity, reduce risk through delivery, and protect budgets in complex, real-world environments — especially where existing buildings, live sites, and tight programmes are involved.
We don’t just report numbers. We help clients make confident decisions.
We can assist our clients at all stages of this process as we are an end-to-end partner. Or you can pick and choose the pieces of the puzzle you need help with right now.
Feasibility & Early Cost Planning
The decisions made early in a project have the greatest impact on cost.
Exactiv supports clients at concept and feasibility stage by providing clear, decision-ready cost advice that helps shape project scope before commitments are locked in.
Services include:
- Concept-stage cost models
- Benchmarking against comparable projects
- Scenario testing to understand budget sensitivity
Outcome: Clear go / no-go decisions and stronger business cases.
Tender Evaluation & Procurement Support
Selecting the right contractor is about more than lowest price.
Exactiv assists clients in understanding what sits behind tender numbers and identifying risk before contracts are awarded.
Services include:
- Tender evaluation and comparison
- Scope and compliance reviews
- Commercial recommendations to support selection
Outcome: Better-informed appointments and reduced downstream risk.
Value Engineering & Cost Optimisation
Value engineering should improve outcomes – not compromise them.
Exactiv focuses on practical, buildable alternatives that maintain design intent while improving cost efficiency.
Our value engineering services include:
- Alternative materials and construction methods
- Methodology reviews informed by site realities
- Cost-benefit analysis of proposed changes
Outcome: Smarter spending, not false savings.
Contract Administration & Cost Control
Once a project is underway, disciplined cost control becomes critical.
Exactiv supports clients through delivery by providing independent oversight and clear reporting to manage change and protect budgets.
Our services include:
- Ongoing cost reporting
- Variation assessment and review
- Change control and budget tracking
Outcome: Greater commercial control and fewer end-of-project surprises.

Tenancy Representation
- New commercial premises locations or relocations – sourcing of suitable premises based on business functionality and costs

Fit-Out & Refurbishment Cost Planning
Fit-out and refurbishment projects carry risks that don’t exist in new builds – existing conditions, hidden services, staging constraints, and operational interfaces.
Exactiv specialises in navigating these complexities.
Our cost planning services include:
- Detailed feasibility estimates
- Design-stage budget development and updates
- Identification of refurbishment-specific cost risks
- Allowances grounded in real construction conditions
Outcome: Budgets that reflect reality, not assumptions – and fewer surprises once works begin.
Design & Construct Estimating
Design and construct projects demand early cost certainty, even when documentation is still evolving.
Exactiv brings builder-side experience into the estimating process, helping clients understand how design decisions translate into real costs.
Our approach includes:
- Early-stage estimating aligned to D&C delivery
- Constructability and scope alignment input
- Cost advice that supports informed design decisions
Outcome: Greater cost confidence before tender and reduced exposure to variations later.
